We just got back from Dr. Rosenbaum's Office for Brixen's 2-Month Well Check-Up. Dr. Rosenbaum saw Brixen a lot the first 4-weeks because of his weight issue and illness. Since we hadn't seen him in awhile, we were excited for him to see Brixen and how big he got over the past few weeks. The visit went well... See below for the stats!
Length: 23.5-Inches
Weight: 10 lbs; 15 oz
Head Circumference: 40 cm
Right now, Brixen is probably eating about 32-ounces per day. Dr. Rosenbaum doesn't want him to go over that per day. He has gained weight rapidly since the last visit but it is most likely because he lost so much at the beginning. Dr. Rosenbaum wasn't too concerned but suggested we get Brixen on more of a schedule because a lot of times he may just be tired instead of hungry. So, we discussed that and I am actually excited to start getting him more on a schedule because it will only help us. It will definitely make things easier since we both will be trying to work more from home now.
I am curious what worked for all my Mommy friends... Did your babies take a morning nap and afternoon? I think our night feedings are going well but I feel like during the day all he wants to do is eat. I think all I am doing is feeding, changing his diapers, and washing bottles! LOL! Oh well... I know eventually somewhat of a schedule will come together! I am all about schedules! Love them!
Brixen got two shots and also a liquid one. He did very well! He cried for a bit but calmed down after he heard Mommy and Daddy's voices. Once we put him in his car seat, he fell asleep for about an hour. We just kept him in it when we got home. He went about 3.5-hours before we fed him again, which is good!
We go back to see Dr. Rosenbaum in a month because the right side of Brixen's head is a bit flat. GramJo laughed when I told her that... I guess they did things a lot differently when we were babies. We also go back for his 4-Month Well Check-Up on Friday, June 10. Hopefully, it is really HOT by than because I am getting tired of this weather! YUCK!
Please check back on Monday for a photo of his 2-Month Birthday! I will be updating our blog every month on the 18th. No big plans this weekend. Although, we are excited to get back to Church. Sunday will be our first service back and we are very much looking forward to it. I think tonight we are going out for some BBQ and going to watch a movie. Of course, cartoons on Saturday morning and just relaxing. Weather doesn't look very nice for the weekend! Darn!
Fun with Brixen
another A+ visit from DRB for BCK!
ReplyDeleteYay, Brixen!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember when David started taking routine naps. I think I just noticed one day that he would roll over onto his pacifier when he got tired and would nap on the floor. I finally realized I should probably put him in his crib when he starts to get sleepy! Duh! I'm sure he'll want a morning and afternoon nap at least. Now that David is over a year old, he only takes one. :-)
I want more pictures of sweet baby Brixen! ;-)
10 lbs! He seems to tiny for almost 2 months old! What a cute lil peanut! I am with Meg, more pics!
ReplyDeleteI feed Lucy about every 3-4 hours during the day - we have awake time and then she will sleep some. And she's going longer at night too now which I appreciate. Our Dr. said something about the flat head on one side, she just prefers sleeping with her face pointing to the left....so I've been trying to have her face it the other way, but she can turn her head which ever way she wants, so there's not much I can do! I think its fine, she turns it both ways, I'm not concerned about it.
ReplyDeleteGlad Brixen's stats are good, sounds like a very healthy, sweet little boy!!
sorry that last comment was from me :)
