Abstract: Objective To explore the feeding status in newborns with twin anemia-polycythemia sequence (TAPS). Methods The clinical data of TAPS with feeding intolerance in 3 newborns were retrospectively analyzed. Results In 3 preterm monochorionic twins who were diagnosed with TAPS after birth, feeding intolerance occurred during the feeding process in three donors, and the feeding process was smooth in 3 recipients. Conclusion If there is chronic intrauterine twin-twin transfusion in the monochorionic twins, postpartum neonatal feeding intolerance should be closely watched, especially in the donor twins.

Key words:  twin anemia-polycythemia sequence; twin-twin transfusion; feeding intolerance; neonate
