We went to our first pediatrician appointment on Friday with Dr. Ege. Mateo came in weighing at 5lbs 15ounces which was great since he left the at 5.11. He gained about 1/2 inch as well so everything looks great with his progress. Dr Ege said to keep on feeding him as often as he wants to eat for now, which has been about every couple of hours.
Mateo has been adjusting really well at home and hasn’t been very fussy unless he’s hungry or being changed and out in his birthday suit. There have been a few atomic diaper incidents that would probably make Al Qaeda surrender from the smell but he’s pooping quite regularly so that is always a good sign.
He’s averaging about anywhere from 2.5 to 5 hours sleeping depending on how full his tummy is and how comfortable he is. We’ve been using the ‘Happiest Baby on the Block‘ techniques and they are working well to calm him and put him to sleep quickly – most specially the swaddling. But he isn’t really too fussy to begin with to be honest.
