Noah Joseph Soucie 1 Month Old

Where did the time go? Noah has been so busy keeping me busy. Highlights of month 1:

1. Breast Feeding- Well... the problem isn't technically Noah. He has a great latch and loves to eat. Problem, I just can't keep up. My lil man loves to eat.

2. Bottle Feeding- In between breast feeding I have to supplement bottles. We started Noah on similac advance. It seems to fill him much more than breast feeding. Bottles are great at night! I think between switching back and forth between breast and bottle, Noah's tummy got all kinds of full with gas. The Dr. switched Noah to Isomil which is soy based. Oh the joy's of projectile vomit. 2 days and I went back to milk based formula. Noah is now on similac sensitive. It works great as a buffer between breast and bottle. We also had to switch bottle nipples to cut down on the amt.of air Noah is getting.

3. Sleeping and Eating- Oh fun, fun, fun! Noah is up every 1-4 hrs. to eat. Usually every 1-2 hrs. He went from 1-2oz per feeding to now 3-4oz per feeding.

4. Medically- Noah has been to the pediatrician 3 times. The first was just for a jaundice check up. My poor baby was just a lil yellow. He is beautifully pale now. Noah then had a blocked tear duct. I had to make sure it was not pink eye. Last but not least, how does a baby get an infected finger? Well leave it to Noah. Treatment was just wash and Abt. ointment. It's still red but we are working on it. He also had 1 Hep B vaccine this month. 1 down 2 to go!

5. Noah's growing very fast. He is 11 lbs. 23 inches. That makes him 90th percentile in weight and 95th percentile in length. He's very smart too! With a head circumference of 15 inches who wouldn't be!

6. Umbilical cord fell off.

7. Tracks objects.

8. Lift's head 90 degrees when on his belly.
