There is not much to say about the boy this month other than he found his hands and began stabilizing his neck. He's still pretty wobbly but he's trying to keep his head up, somewhat. He has a voracious appetite and he occasionally still chokes during feedings. This month I have been exclusively breastfeeding him with the sporadic formula bottles here and there. I started him on a schedule this month as well because I wasn't getting much sleep (yes, selfish me). So I'm trying to get up and start the day at 8am and follow the eat-play-nap model so he goes down roughly at 10am, 1pm, 4pm, and night-night at 7pm. At first this was rough and he did his share of crying but it didn't pain me as much as Lily's cry when she was a newborn. Chalk it up to experience and knowing that he's not dying lol. I wanted to do things differently from how we did things with Lily. With her we fed her to go to sleep every time and to this day she needs her milk sippy to go to sleep. I want Hudson to not be dependent on a bottle or sippy for sleep. I want him to learn how to soothe himself to sleep so everyone can get good rest.
Stats to note:
Weighs in at 14lbs 14 oz. Lily weighed 11lbs 8 oz.
He is 24 inches. Lily was 23 inches.
