We had our one month well-baby checkup on Wednesday. Addison weighs 10.5lbs now and is 22in long! Her weight and height put her in the 80th percentile and the pediatrician says everything looks great. Things we addressed with the Doctor:
- Straining to poo.... Dr. Neill says that infants often are still figuring out their muscles and struggle to get even the tiniest amounts out. She said this generally fades by two months of age.
- Addie has a little case of acid reflux. Doc says keeping Addison upright after feedings and feeding in small amounts should help ease this. In the meantime, seeing lots of spit up and a fussy baby after feedings is normal.
Milestones:
Diapers: We're officially done with newborn diapers! The newborn diapers were just a tad too small and when we ran out, instead of buying more newborn size, we tried out the size one diapers we already had. The size 1's are a bit too big, but it's probably better than putting her in something too snug.
Sleeping: Addie takes more catnaps during the day (versus sleeping all day long), lasting anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, and sleeps a little longer at night.
Moods: We've seen more of a fussy side to Addison lately because of the acid reflux. She still doesn't really cry much but we can definitely tell when she's having a rough time because of the faces she will make.
