Re: Weekly discussion Nov 1-8 babies
-Sleeping - what is this?
-Eating - like a champ even with reflux. Gained 3 lbs since we have been home. Started taking Zantac today for his reflux. I really hope this brings him comfort. Its hard to watch him be in pain.
-Milestones - he is able to turn his head side to side.
Sleeping: Does a good job in the early part of the night, 7-3. Wakes twice maybe three times during this stretch to feed. Wakes up at 4 and does not want to go back to sleep. Frustrating.
Eating: Nurses every 2-3 hours and we top off with formula before bed.
Milestones: social smile today!!!
AW: pic attached!
-Sleeping: sleeps great during the day but is colicky in the evening until 1-2am
-Eating: generally falls asleep while eating. She was 8lb 1oz at 5w2days, up from 6lb11oz at 2 weeks. She's now drinking about 15oz in a 24 hour period plus she prob gets 1-2oz through nursing
-Question: curious how much everyone's baby weighs and how much their eating. I feel like my LO is such a lil peanut
-Age: 5 weeks 3 days
-Sleeping: during the day it varies, but at night he's been consistently sleeping a 6 hour stretch and then a 2-3 hour stretch for about a week now
-Eating: EBF on demand, about 7-10 times a day
-Milestones: DS is just starting to smile. He's also cooing a lot more
-Questions:
-AW: we gave DS a bottle and used a pacifier for the first time over the weekend. He did pretty well with the bottle and seems to like the paci, so yay!
-Sleeping; He still wakes up every 2hours!!
-Eating; 3-4ozs of Breastmilk and formula.. Every 2 hours at night.. During the day he seems to go 3 hours. Still having to supplement since I don't pump enough and he does not do well with latching.
Questions; how do you get your LO to sleep longer than 2 hours at night! Also, in the last 2 weeks little man will not sleep anywhere but on me or next to me... I of course have allowed it because I'm SO tired!!
AW: social smiled last week!
-Sleeping: 6 hour stretch then 3 or 4 hour stretch. One long nap during the day. Lately she won't nap unless I'm holding her.
-Eating: ALL THE TIME
-Milestones: smiling a lot in the mornings. Rolled front to back.
Sleeping: from 6 till 8ish he wants me to hold or nurse him then 9 till midnight he sleeps then after that every two hrs on a good night.
Milestone: he coos at me when I talk to him.
Eating: EBF on demand. He was 9.9lbs when he was born but is now 12 lbs.
Question: DS was born with slight case of jaundice but nothing that warranted an extra day at the hospital. The whites of his eye still have a tinge of yellow. How long does it take to clear up?
Sleeping: little cat naps plus one long nap during the day. Seems to be going 3 to 4 hours at night.
Eating: constantly!
Milestones: smiling a lot more:)
Sleeping: He's doing well - usually a 4 hour stretch, then 2-3 hours, but sadly he's usually up at 4 or 5am with gas pains. I hang out with him for a few hours then pass him to DH and sleep for a few hours. He sleeps a LOT during the day.
Eating: Doing great. I'm not tracking. No issues.
Milestones: His neck control is so awesome, and he smiles a lot. He'll stare at me and smile for what feels like forever. I love it so much!
Question: How much are your kids awake during the day? I can't believe how much he sleeps! I'm not worried about it, and he's doing fine at night, but I'm curious about other babies.
Here he is giving me his social smile and hanging out with big bro!
- sleeping 2-3.5 hour stretches at night, but going down for the night later than I'd like since DD is up between 6 and 7 in the a.m. naps are anywhere from 30 min to 2 hours during the day.
- Eating every 2 hours during the day and on every wake up at night. EBF
- first giggle today (in his sleep)!
- Question: is there typically a 6 week growth spurt? I know it's something I could Google, but I'm too damn tired.
-Sleeping: on a good night we get two good 3 or 4 hour stretches. Then usually from 4 or 5 on she sleeps on my chest till we get up. But on a rough night (which we've had quite a few of lately) we get one good stretch early on, then she'll be up every 2 hours the rest of the night.
-Eating: EBF. usually every 2 to 3 hrs during the day, 3 or more at night (we hope). but days like today she's eating every hour. (growth spurt maybe?) i have a very rapid letdown so she only eats 3-5 minutes each side. sometimes only 1 side. but is gaining like a champ so she is definitely getting enough.
-Milestones: lots of smiles the last week! i've been slacking on tummy time so i should probably do more of that!
Age: 6 weeks today
Sleeping: Like a champ at night. Goes down around 9pm and gets up at 2am ish and then between 7am and 8am. He barely sleeps during the day and just wants to sit up on my lap and watch the world go by. Only sleeps longer than 10 mins in the car or my Boba carrier.
Eating- EBf, Much better now that I weaned off the shield. Gain weight, just not fast. Will be long and thin like his dad and mom. Loves a bottle though.
Milestones: Lots of smiles at us and our dog. Holds onto our fingers and pulls himself up to sit. Puts himself to sleep in crib at night.
AW : Rylan loves his puppy, Wilson

-Sleeping--pretty well, 3-4 hour stretches at a time!
-Eating--we're both bf and ff--though ff way more then bf. She takes anywhere between 3-5 oz at a time.
-Milestones--follows mommys voices. Cooing. Smiled today!!!
Mama to sweet baby girl, Emerson Rose, born November 7th, 2014
-Sleeping: 3 nights in a row of a 5+ hour long stretch. Knocking on wood that it lasts!
-Eating EBF 8x/day or more - whenever LO is hungry
-Milestones More and more alert every day - loving the xmas lights and has been talking and giving us more smiles
-Questions Would love some ideas for stocking stuffers for LO - anyone have any recommendations of little things they are loving so far?
-AW We found out LO is in the 95th percentile for head size (thanks to her dad) - another lucky reason for me that she came 2 weeks early!
-Age: 5 weeks 4 days (11/7)
-Sleeping: can't complain! During the day - 30min-1hr nap around 10am, then 2-3hr nap at noon, and another short nap around 5. We've started a bedtime routine at 9 every night & she'll usually be asleep by 10-10:30 and sleep till 3:30 when she wakes up to eat, then go back down again till anywhere between 7:30-9ish.
-Eating: like a champ! Every 3 hrs during the day, and then she eats before bed at 9pm, when she wakes at 3:30am, and again at 9am - EBF & just began pumping for emergencies & storage for when I return to work. When breast feeding, about 30-40 min, and she'll only do 1 side. When taking a bottle - about 4-5oz.
-Born @ 7 lbs 13.5oz, dropped to 7 & 5, and at her 1 month was up to 9 lbs, 8oz.
-Milestones: So many! Turns to side from back. Holds head up for 15sec or so. Scoots her legs during tummy time like she's going somewhere! And is starting cooing, smiling & laughing!
-AW: Still trying to figure out how to upload a pic from this app...
