Re: newborn moms - check in!

Charlie will be 6 weeks on Tuesday. At her 1 month visit she was 10.5lbs and 23 inches (vs 8.13lbs and 20 inc at birth!). I feel like she's not a big enough eater though. She does 3-4oz every 4 hours and has slept through the night twice this week so sometimes she's only getting like 18oz day. She's on a pretty good "schedule" with a 1 hour nap in the morning and usually a 3-4 hour one in the afternoon (not totally consistent yet though). She's pretty easy to put to sleep in her crib but has a hard time napping anywhere else (she's a VERY light sleeper!). She goes down for the night around 8 after her bath which seems to help her sleep (the 3 times we skipped baths were our worst nights!). We "dream feed" her around 11 and then she usually gets up once for 2oz and goes right back down. That feeding was 3am but she's been pushing it closer to 5am and twice this week skipped it altogether DS STTN from 11pm to 7am at 7 weeks so I'm hoping she's following suit So far she's a lot like her brother!

She started smiling and I cant get enough She adores her big brother too!

Re: newborn moms - check in!

DD will be 8 weeks on Thursday. I havent taken her 2 month appt yet so I dont know how much she weighs.. She is EBF so I dont know how much she is getting. She eats every 2 hours. When I pump and try to give her a 4oz bottle, she freaks and will only drink 1 oz. from it. So we are working on that..
During the day she is very fussy and doesnt sleep that much. At night she nurses at 9 is in the crib by 9:30, wakes at 1:30-2 and then at 5..
she just started smiling and cooing. Which just melts me..
She is still in Size 1 diapers and 3-6 clothes..

My DS is 18 months old and into EVERYTHING.. He is a climber so it is very draining.

DS Ethan will be 3 months old on Wednesday. It went by fast!!!

At his 2 month check up, he was 11 lb 8oz and I guess for him to be about 13 lbs now.

He has pretty consistently STTN for the past 3 weeks, with a few blips. He usually takes his last bottle around 9 and sleeps until around 6. He eats about 5 ounces every 3 hours during the day. Still trying to get a nap routine- but we can usually count on about 3 hours total per day, between his morning and afternoon naps.

He smiles and coos- loves to people-watch. Likes to hang out on his play mat and bat at objects and kick around! He especially loves to watch his 2 year old big brother run all over the place!!
