| 9 Weeks |
Age: 9 Weeks
Weight: 14 lbs 10 oz
Clothing Size: All 0-3 months but I can tell it won't be long until we move up!
Diaper Size: Pampers Swaddlers Size 2 - ahhh these fit SO much better!
Feeding Schedule: ~10 x's per day
I wish I could say sleeping got better this week...but it didn't. Sigh. Caleb had a few nights where he did a bit longer stretches but no where close to the 9 hours I know he can do! He's still getting up about 3 times a night and up for the day by 6 am usually. Last night was a better night with a 6 hour stretch...but who knows if it will continue.
I've officially be dairy and soy free for 11 days. Caleb's skin has cleared up a lot with just some dry patches on his elbows and thighs. His tummy seems to be cleared all the way up compared to last weekend when it was covered in red bumps and blotchy.
We had his 2 month checkup today - 5 shots and 1 oral vaccine, poor guy! He took them like a champ and stopped crying when mommy picked him up. I talked to the doctor about his sensitivities and she is on board with the milk and soy intolerances and thinks there may be something else in my diet causing him some issues since he still has the bad gas and mucous poops. She recommended keeping a food diary to compare what I eat to how he acts. She was also very supportive of continuing to breastfeed as throwing formula into the mix now would just be something new he could react too.
For now we'll just keep going how we're going and maybe he'll grow out of it by the time we get it all figured out. Haha! :)
Otherwise, Caleb seems to be a bit happier during the day. I kind of figured out his routine and can tell when he needs a nap. That has made it easier and he'll now go longer in between feedings.
