Weeks 1-12




I have realized I forgot everything from when Nina was a baby, so I want to record Ty's milestones so I can refer to them later (much much later!)

week 1: enjoyed room service in the hospital and the luxury of taking care of myself and perfecting nursing (thank you c-section!)

week 2: probably had his first bath. eating every 3 hours. put to sleep in sling, then swaddle

week 3-6: had some fussy nights, nothing cluster feeding couldnt solve! sleeps in swing, started busting out of swaddle at night. cant put himself to sleep but sleeps in basinette after he is in a good REM. very sensitive bottom, can only wear pampers swaddlers and use extra strength desitin

week 7: smiled and started sleeping longer (9 hours in carseat). only cries when tired or needs to burp. took a bottle with no problem (2.5oz). i think he eats around 3 ounces but did take 4 in a bottle once.

week 8: sleeping 4-8 hours at night. likes to kick, no longer screams at diaper change and bath. doctor says he has some reflux so he spits up if laying on his back. we still have him sleep in basinette anyways because we dont want to create the habit of only sleeping in a chair.

week 9: talking and eye contact! found his fingers and likes to suck them! eating every 3 hours during the day and napping 1-2 hours between feedings - no set nap schedule yet. he really likes attention from his parents and sister!
week 10- 11: now sleeping 5-7 hours at night. if he wont take his nuk, it means he has to burp.
