And this time, I don't want to rush through all the stages. With Tristan, I was in a different place in my life and I kept wanting to rush and get to the next milestone. With Matheson, I am very content and am enjoying everything.
We are settling into a routine at home. Matheson wakes up around 6am and wants out of the SNOO and to be held. He's awake a good chunk of the day, as of literally the last few days. He has about 3 long naps through the day and asleep for the night by 8pm,although we don't put him in his bed until we are ready to go to bed. We try to give him a dream feed at 10am to help him sleep longer. He is usually up by 1am and 4am during the night. He gets a bath every 3 days. I have been doing those during the day, but need to start doing them before bed to get into a routine.
We have his one month visit with Dr Penn today. We noticed Matty was getting constipated and he was uncomfortable trying to have a bowl movement, plus he had allot of gas. We were using Gripe Water almost daily to help with the gas issue. We switched his formula from Similac Pro-Advance to Similac Total Comfort; however, the formula had a smell and his gas had the same. Then, we tried the Similac Pro Sensitive and it seems to be better for his tummy. The one thing both of my boys inherited from me was my sensitive tummy!
At his one month checkup, Matheson grew 2" and 2lbs!
Dr Penn noticed he has a hydrocele. This will be watched and hopefully it will resolve by his first birthday.
A hydrocele (HI-droe-seel) is a type of swelling in the scrotum that occurs when fluid collects in the thin sheath surrounding a testicle. Hydrocele is common in newborns and usually disappears without treatment by age 1.
