I cant believe Emma is already two months old! Seems so surreal. We went to her two month checkup today and she is now 11lbs 12oz! She went up to the 90th percentile!! I couldn't believe it. But I'm glad she is growing well! Her height is in the 20th percentile and her head in the 10th. It is a big difference from her weight. The doctor didn't seem too concerned so we shall see in her next appt.
Eating:
Breastfeeding has been going well. I'm still nursing every 2-3hrs. Now that she is getting older our nursing sessions are much shorter than the beginning. Now she finishes in 15 mins or less opposed to almost 45 mins! My supply has been pretty good so I stopped supplementing with formula as the doctor suggested. I think eating oatmeal every morning is helping!
Sleeping:
Sleep is still unpredictable and we are still co-sleeping. She naps 3-4 times during the day, each being between 45mins to 2hrs. At night she goes down around 11-12pm (when we sleep), and wakes up at 2-3am for her first feeding then at 5-6am for her early morning feeding. After her first morning feeding we go back to sleep and wake up for the day between 9-10am.
The schedule above is a good day. On a bad day she doesn't go to sleep until 2am :(. Also she only goes to sleep at night with a pacifier in her mouth. This is the only way we have been able to have her fall asleep. Its not a good habit but...it works. During the day we hardly ever give it to her unless we really need it.
Misc.
Other new things for this month include Emma smiling and cooing more frequently. She loves it when we make her smile. I've been trying to do more tummy time, but she doesn't like it too much. Instead I started putting her down on a play mat, which she enjoys much more.
Also this week she found her hands! She started sucking on her little fists.
Playtime with mommy :)
These pacifiers are awesome! So cute.
