My kids (8.5 month old twins) nurse and take formula. They were full term but small and had a very slow start to gaining weight. For the first 6 months they were on high calorie formula and around 6 months they really started to take off in weight. As they took more in bottles my supply got lower and lower. At this point I know they do get milk from me, but I'm not sure how much. I think most of their nursing is for comfort and I rely on formula for their calories.

Anyway, they are doing great with weight gain these days. Yet I am still obsessive about force feeding them as many ounces in a day as possible. I track their bottles religiously in an app and stress endlessly over days that their intake is less. (And by less, I mean 25 oz instead of 30. They're obviously still getting enough to eat. And there's whatever breastmilk they get from me on top of that. And I'm trying to get them some solids most days, but they don't eat much).

Anyway, I'm thinking about giving up on the obsessive tracking because it causes me so much stress. I'm with them all day every day. I know their hunger cues. I know what they take on average. I know they won't starve! Am I the only ounce obsessed mom out there? When did you give up on the tracking and was it a relief or more stressful?
