6 Weeks Old!!!
Holy cow does time fly! We saw Carolynn at the clinic this morning for his 6 week checkup the last before we're back to our family doctor.
He's doing GREAT! He's now up to 10 pounds, 2 ounces and 22.5 inches long, which is almost a 4 pound gain in 6 weeks. He's smiling all the time and trying to "talk" to us.
He's an awesome sleeper, going down around 9pm, back up at 3am to eat and then down until 6am - sometimes he gets up then for the day, or has a little nap until 8am. During the day, he sleeps when he can, in the car, someones arms, in his swing, bouncer chair - he sleeps a lot.
Feeding wise, he's doing well too - the shield is working for us, so I've been using that and hoping in the next few weeks to have him off the bottle and then will work on weaning the shield so he's on the breast completely. Domperidone, oatmeal and fenugreek work wonders for supply!!! Now if only I could find more time for pumping!! He's eating every 2-4 hours during the day - slightly less often at night.
He's changing so much daily!
