3 weeks old

Baby girl is 3 weeks old today. She had a visit to the pediatrician yesterday due to the formula issues and she is up to 9lbs. Our little chunky monkey.

Eating: Faithe is a very good eater. She loves her food. Right now she eats about 3.5 to 4oz of formula every 3-4 hours. Last night she actually skipped a feed...but this morning she ate 5oz in a matter of an hour and a half. The pediatrician changed her back to Enfamil Newborn due to the poop issues we were having on the Prosobee. We are working to find out if it is reflux or over eating. She said that babies appetite is bigger than their stomach so they tend to over eat and spit up what their stomachs can't hold. So we are journaling how much she eats, when she spits up, how much and then we'll follow up in a week or so. They said that will help determine if it reflux.

Sleeping: Faithe is a pretty good sleeper. She still only sleeps at night in her Rock and Play sleeper. Best money ever spent. For naps she'll sleep in her bouncer or in the Pack n play. At night we feed her and change her mostly in the dark. During the day regular noise and lots of light.

Awake Time: She is having more awake time. She likes tummy time and actually I just found out she likes to kind of sit between my legs and lean over the other leg. So cute.

Development: Her neck control is really good. During tummy time she lifts her neck up, looks in all directions, and isn't all over the place. When she is on the shoulder she does have a little uncontrolled movement but not much. It is getting much better.

Stimulation: We noticed when she has too much stimulation that she doesn't sleep very well. Meaning too many visitors or activities in a day she'll have some restless sleep. So we'll be working to control that.

Bath Time: She really likes her baths on the warmer side. I tried to use the duck that tells you if it is too Hot and when I made the water so it wouldn't say hot she screamed. When I make it warmer she sits there calmly and lets me pour water all over her. So I really think as long as we have warm water she'll love her baths. She is still figuring out the lotion massages after bath.

Clothing: She is still in newborn clothes. While she isn't swimming in them anymore, they are starting to fit better. With her weight gain we probably only have about 1-2 weeks left in Newborn clothes. She still hates sleepers with feet. We thought it was just the "onesie" type ones but we put a pair of pants on her the other night with footies and she was not having it. As soon as her feet were free she calmed down. She even kicks her blanket off her feet when in the car seat or in her sleeper. This girl loves her feet free.
