2 weeks old.... 12th Jan 13

Your two weeks old today and you’re growing every day… slow down just a little. Daddy is off work again this week so we spent a lot of time just chilling out and enjoying our time together as a family. As I’m sure I’ve said a million times, we sure are going to miss dada once he has to go back to work.

Height/weight: this week you’re up to 6lb8, wow even the midwife said that’s brilliant for a breastfed baby. You’re still fitting into your early baby outfit but it’s getting tight and your growing into the tiny baby clothes granddad bought you.

Routine: We are still feeding on demand and have no routine; we are just going with the flow and doing exactly what you want when you want it done.

Sleep: you’re still sleeping in bed with us a lot of the time but will occasionally sleep in the mosses basket however we normally just fall asleep together whilst you’re feeding. In the day time you sleep 3 – 4 hours at a time, which should mean we have plenty of time to get stuff done however we normally just spend that time cuddling up with each other and watching you whilst you sleep. At night time you sleep for about 2 hours before waking again however you’re getting much better at settling yourself.

Eating: in the day time you feed every 3 – 4 hours for about 30 minutes, half way through the feed you like to have a little break and just cuddle mama. At night you’re feeding every 2 hours for almost an hour, you just get super-duper hungry at night.
