Month 1:
Weight: 3.93kgs
Height: 50cm
Clothing size: Newborn
Diaper size: We have just moved to size 1 from size 0/newborn
Feeding: 120mls until this week, we have moved up to 150mls every 3 hours. We are following a daily schedule of 6am, 9am, 12pm, 3pm and 6pm and demand feeding at night.
Sleep: We are slowly getting into a good routine – going down at 7pm, waking between 11.30pm-12am for a feed and then again around 4-5am. She sleeps between feeds during the day but can get a little restless.
Milestones: She seems to be reaching all small milestones – she recognizes mommy and daddy’s voices, she is beginning to focus on people and definitely the start of a smile (with her eyes for now!)
Loves: She loves to be cuddled and held and will settle and fall asleep instantly in someones arms, loves moment in the pram or car, loves her little cherry dummy to soothe and loves her big sisters ooh-ing and aah-ing over her.
Dislikes: Not too many dislikes yet – doesn’t like to be cold after her bath.
Adventures: We heard that third children just fit in and this is true for adventures – you went to your first wedding at two weeks old, all bundled up in your bassinet. Nana looked after you for an afternoon while we enjoyed some holiday fun with your sisters. And you celebrated big sister SJ’s 5th birthday party.
Mommy & Daddy could not live without: Each other. It has been an amazing experience welcoming a new baby girl into our family but it also comes with the juggling act and adjustment to three kiddies in the house, as well as school holidays, family visiting, birthday parties, Easter and some illness. We have learnt that as a team, we can conquer anything and we work so well together.
