My little Bennett Adam is already a whole month old. I had to guess at his weight and length because he isn't going back to his pediatrician until he is two months old.
GROWTH
I am guessing he weighs somewhere between 8 and 9 pounds, maybe over 9 pounds. On Monday June 23 he weighed in at 7lbs 14oz. Without a good scale though, I really have no idea. He was 19.5" at that same appointment too so I'm guessing he is still around there, maybe 20" now.
EATINGI breastfeed Bennett on demand. He has had a few bottles of expressed milk and he takes them like a champ which is a relief. He is an amazing nurser and not a lazy eater like his brother was. Most of the time he needs both sides to be satisfied although sometimes he'll only take one. When I pump I can get anywhere between 1-4 ounces from one side. My right produces less than my left. I'm not sure I really like the electric pump I have but it is what it is. His latch is and always has been awesome and I'm confident in the start our nursing relationship has had.
SLEEPING
Bennett has not yet discovered the joy of sleeping for long periods of time. He is up multiple times a night to nurse, get his diaper changed and just generally be awake. *yawn*
ACTIVITY/MILESTONES
Although he is only a month old he can already smile and roll from belly to back. He turns toward voices and is trying to track with his eyes.
CLOTHING & DIAPERS
He wears 0-3 month clothes. Newborn clothes only fit him for about 2 weeks or so.
We have been using cloth exclusively since we came home from the hospital. It has been working out really well. For the first two weeks I had to wash them every day but now we're on to every other day. He has outgrown a few kinds including the THX aios, Bummis Super Brite covers and the BumGenius NB aios are on their way out too. At night we use fitteds and covers. He's outgrown his Imagine brand NB bamboo fitteds. My absolute favorite newborn diaper is the new Grovia NB aio. I only have one but I love it.
As far as OS diapers go, he fits into BG4.0s. That's about it, other OS pockets kind of fit but they are still a bit big. I'm sure they will start fitting better the more time passes though. He's growing like a friggin' weed!
