Baby uninterested in eating

My twins were born 36+2 so really just late preterm. They were a decent size when born 5.7 and 5.11 pounds but have both lost quite a bit of weight since then because they have zero interest in food. We are obviously working closely with their pediatrician to solve the issue, but does anyone have any tips or tricks to get babies to eat!?

Are you breastfeeding or formula? My first baby was born at 35w and she wasnt interested in the boob in the beginning, the bottle was a lot easier and faster for her so i ended up pumping and giving her breastmilk in a bottle until she got a little older and stronger. I always tried putting her on the boob first but she never had the energy or patience to wait for the letdown. It took us about a month and a half for her to really breastfeed. If youre also breastfeeding, dont be afraid to introduce a bottle until they get a little stronger.
