No official doctor visit this month so I only have an unofficial weight.

Weight (percentile): 14 lbs, 12 oz

Height (percentile): Seems to be around 23.5-24"

Head (percentile): Didn't measure

Clothing Size: 6 months

Diaper Size: 2

Likes this month: Food, Playing in Sit Me Up, The Beatles, Eating his hands, mornings, shushing sound.

Dislikes this month: Changing clothes, falling asleep, waiting more than 10 seconds for bottle to go in his mouth when he's hungry, night time,

Questions/Concerns: The past few days he has been just losing his mind in the evening and the only thing that calms him is the bottle even when he's eaten recently. He's averaging 31 oz a day but maybe he needs more than that sometimes. I just worry that it could be something else and maybe the bottle is covering it up.

Thanks aggiebug for the Sit-Me-Up suggestion. He loves it!!

goldenlove3 is it within a few hours of his first long stretch of sleep at night? M is finally going longer stretches between feedings except for right before bed. She cluster feeds for at least an hour+ almost as though she's trying to fill the tank, and I know she's not getting nearly as long as a sleep stretch as your little guy.

[goldenlove3]

sophiegrace It's been anywhere between 6 and 9. Sometimes it's as we're trying to put him down for the night but other times it's earlier than that. His feedings are still so random. Sometimes he downs 6 oz and is up 3 hours later, other times it's 2 oz and he's out for 6 hours. But maybe it is just cluster feeding. I haven't thought about that since we're bottle feeding.

[sophiegrace]

goldenlove3 I can't imagine how frustrating that has to get especially since you don't want to waste a whole bottle if that's not what he wanted. Wonder weeks did say that with this past leap (11.5-12.5 wks) they cry harder and longer than they used to. I know the helps zero percent though. I spend most of my time assuming I'm messing up in some giant way.

[goldenlove3]

I haven't checked Wonder weeks in a while. It does say he might be fussy right now and drinking more.

Wow danib!! He was so tiny!

[sophiegrace]

Weight: 15lb 6oz

Height: 24 inches

Head: 15.5 inches

Clothing: 3-6

Diaper: moving to 3s once the current box of 2s is finished

Likes: her winkel, being propped into the sitting position, bath time, mornings, the medicine time song, smiling, laughing, cooing, and of course eating time!

Dislikes: having to wait for anything, sudden noises, taking naps off Mom

Q/C: probably if I could find my brain!

AW your LO: such a night and day difference from the last month check-in. Her reflux is in check and she is so happy all the time. I'm having so much fun with her and cannot get enough! And as of last weekend she lets H hold her occasionally and gives him the BIGGEST smiles.

[hangry]

Weight (percentile): 12 lbs

Height (percentile): 23 inches

Head (percentile): 40 cm

Clothing Size: 3 month

Diaper Size: size 2

Likes this month: smiling at mommy , comforting on the boob, car rides, watching her brother, looking at toys hanging in front of her, the music the cat plays on her rocker chair.

Dislikes this month: when her brother throws things at her, yells in her face, or rocks her chair too violently (he is desperate for an age appropriate playmate). When bedtime is too late because I have to put both down myself or wait for H to get from work. Baths when the water goes over her head. Being cold after the bath.

Questions/Concerns: I'm just ready for longer nighttime stretches.[poof

[ClassyMrsA]

Weight (percentile): 11lb 11oz

Height (percentile): 24"

Head (percentile): 15.5"

Clothing Size: 0-3, 3-6

Diaper Size: 1, 2 at night (though we just finished our last pack of 1s).

Likes this month: Eating, the swing, rnp with her purple blanket, baths with mommy, playing with toys on her back, chewing on hands/toys/blankets, watching people

Dislikes this month: Baths without mommy, standing still for too long, being cold, wind

Questions/Concerns: She seems to have grown in height a lot, but only gained a pound this month. I'm still nervous about her weight gain. Her monthly average is 1/2 an ounce a day or so which is fine, but since I've been weighing her weekly, she seems to have weeks where she barely gains anything at all. Maybe that's normal and she's using her calories to get taller and head bigger now and then she'll gain a bunch again? I don't know. Her spit up seems to have slowed a bit so that's good at least.

ClassyMrsA 1/2 oz a day sounds perfectly fine. They also slow down a bit once they become more alert/active.

Yes, 1/2 an ounce a day is normal. The issue is that she'll gain like 5 oz in a week on average for a few weeks and then only like 1 or 2 oz in a week.

Thats fine too (and one of the downfalls of weekly weighs). Our PHN always said to look at the overall picture rarher than individual weeks.

(assuming healthy baby of course)

Thank you. I think it is the downfall of weighing more frequently than once a month. I looked at her book and she's been gaining about 1lb 1oz a month since birth. I think I need to just weigh her once a month from now on.

I'm finally doing one of these! I usually skip them because with one of the younger babies I just kinda forget.

D turned 3 months on Saturday (2/18). No 3 month appointment but I stepped on the scale with her on Friday and she was 14 lbs. 13 oz. So, fairly big!

Clothing Size: 3-6 and 6 months, and some 6-9 months. It can be a bit tricky because some larger styles are too long for her but smaller ones are way too tight for her round belly and ample thighs.

Diaper Size: 2 but I want to move to 3. Unfortunately I have a ton of 2's left 😕

Likes this month: her Wubbanub, watching her big brother, her mama, "talking" and blowing raspberries, Freddie the Firefly, being held facing outward, motorboat noises (easiest way to get her to smile), chewing her hands and other people's fingers/arms.

Dislikes this month: baths with Daddy, not being fed exactly every 2 hours during the day.

Questions/Concerns: none come to mind

tallblonde I'm having to add some formula to his bottles because I'm not pumping enough.

I am completely clueless with formula.. I don't even know where to begin. I think I'll go through freezer stash first and then jump off that bridge when we get there.
