Re: twins who have cried all the time since birth and are gaining no more
than .5 oz per day:  Could their gassiness and fussiness be simply hunger?
 Is their one-breasted mom supplementing them to the extent they need?
(And not with cereal in a bottle ;-)  )

It would be really nice to see what these kids did with a few days of full
access to donor human milk.  If they settled on that, and if mom couldn't
continue access to donor milk, perhaps she could try a hypoallergenic formula.

I've had several mothers of underfed babies comment that their babies are
fussy and gassy.  The comments stop when the babies get fed.  A thought.
