Theo's First Bath and First Month

How is my baby already one month old?!

On September 8th Theo and I went to the Pediatrician for his one month check up! He weighs 9 lbs 13 oz and is 22 inches long. Considering that three weeks ago he was 7 lbs 13 oz (he lost a little weight after being born) jumping up two pounds on breast milk is pretty great! The Pediatrician did recommend putting Theo on a Vitamin D supplement because most babies that only have breast milk don't get enough Vitamin D from their moms. Other than that he looks great (no more jaundice) and the doctor commented on how strong he is!

We had our first official bath this month (after his umbilical cord fell off). 

He wasn't sure at first but after a few minutes he warmed up to it. He did end up pooping in the tub so I guess he was REALLY relaxed!

Theo is a great sleeper and eater. Right now he is eating 4 ounces every 3-4 hours and wakes up twice in the night. I breast feed him when I can, but most of the time I pump and feed him. Theo is able to get a good latch but he falls asleep a lot and doesn't seem to be getting enough to satisfy him. We are still working on it, but right now the pump-and-feed system is working well for us. Plus, Josh can get up with him in the night and feed him since I am already up every two to three hours to pump :-)

Theo is such a sweet heart and I love being able to stay at home with him all day!
