Caleb Patrick is 17 Weeks Old!
Age: 17 Weeks
Weight: 17 lbs 4 oz
Clothing Size: 3-6 months
Diaper Size: Pampers Swaddlers Size 3
Feeding Schedule: 6 - 8 x's per day
Oh Caleb....he's still getting up once a night. He takes a full feeding when he gets up so it seems to definitely be hunger driven. We had our follow up at the GI on Tuesday. She didn't have any concerns with him so gave us the go ahead to start cereal since he's eating so much. She said to go ahead and test Caleb with a form of dairy or soy to see how he acts. I mentioned the old frozen milk I had from before I eliminated the dairy and she agreed that would be a good start. This Saturday I'm going to give him a bottle with a few ounces of the 'old' milk to see his reaction.
On Wednesday I decided to start exclusive pumping and just feeding with bottles. Caleb was still not lying on his left side to nurse and was difficult to feed all weekend. He seems upset that he doesn't instantly get milk like with his bottles. Hopefully this change will relieve a little bit of stress on my part.
