Double consumption, double potential savings
Full formula for twins on standard powder often runs $300 to $400/month or more when both babies take full bottles.
If pumped milk covers 30 oz/day combined, savings are roughly $180/month at ~$0.20/oz, same as one baby at 30 oz.
Maximum twin savings approach 2× single-baby EP totals only if breast milk fully replaces all feeds for both. That is rare and not required for pumping to be financially meaningful.

Realistic twin output vs full formula cost
Many twin moms produce enough for partial replacement: 50 to 70% of combined intake from breast milk is a strong outcome.
Example: 50 oz combined need, 30 oz from breast milk → ~$180/month saved, ~$120/month still spent on formula.
Example: 50 oz need, 25 oz breast milk → ~$150/month saved.

Partial supplementation math for twins
Supplementing one twin while fully breast-milk feeding the other still saves on every replaced ounce for that baby.
Different intake per twin is normal. Track per-baby feeds with pediatric guidance, not guilt.
