This is what Henry looked like most of today.
Henry is four weeks old today and he has been FUSSY since about 2 AM this morning. He has set my expectations way too high for this! His routine lately has been to eat every 2-3 hours during the day and then go to bed around 7 PM, eat at 12 AM, 3 AM, and 6/7 AM. And going right back to bed easily after his night-time feedings. Last night was different. He was fussy and ate every two hours after midnight and didn't nap well today (I had to use the sling twice today and I only had to use it one other time this week). I really hope this was just a one-day thing but I can't think of anything that I may have eaten to cause this... Here's hoping we get our regularly scheduled Henry back tomorrow!
He is outgrowing some of his 0-3 month clothes already. I washed his 3-6 month clothes to have ready and put away some of the smaller ones. He goes in for a vaccination next week but I weighed him between 12-13 pounds on our home scale this week. I'll update with a more accurate weight after his appointment next week.
Ughhh... This is about when George started getting colic. In his case cutting dairy out of my diet helped immensely. I'm hoping this next one doesn't have that same problem and that Henry's issues were just a fluke.
Think it could be a growth spurt? Usually happens around 4 weeks.....just a thought and could explain the eating more frequently.
Thankfully it seems to have been just a one-day thing!
Such cute photos... hope the stuff I sent with my Mom still fits Henry!
