Happy 1 month birthday (June 28th) to my sweet baby boy! It is so hard to believe that he has been apart of our lives for a month already. Some times it feels like it was just yesterday I was pregnant and anxious for his arrival and other times it feels like he has been here FOREVER! It has definitely been a month of learning for Brian and I. I grew up babysitting and playing mommy but I could have never prepared myself for life with a real newborn. It is so rewarding but boy is it hard! The first two weeks he did great and slept most of the time. I, however, was a hormonal wreck! Thankfully after a few weeks I feel like myself again. These past 2 weeks have been pretty tough on mommy and daddy. Tyler was a champ with feeding from the get-go but he started having a hard time feeding and would get very fussy and angry when he ate. His fussiest time of the day is usually between 6-10pm which is hard for Brian because that is when he gets home from work. I took Tyler to the doctor on his 1 month birthday and they confirmed my concerns with his feeding by telling me he has some reflux issues. Apparently there is something called "silent" reflux. Most babies with reflux issues spit up a lot and Tyler never spits up. He just gets really upset during feeding and refuses to eat even though you can tell he is hungry. It is so sad to see him in pain and not know what to do to help. I am hopeful that the medicine will help and we will be a happy eater again soon! Here are some of the things I want to remember about Tyler's first month.
Weight: 8lb 15 oz
Food: Breastfeeding every 2-3 hours during the day and 3-4 hours at night...found out he has reflux so he started medicine
Clothes: Newborn
Likes: Being in the sling, laying on his activity mat, laying on daddy's chest, tummy time, being held and walked around (he gets fussy the minute you sit down), the sound "shhh, shhh, shhh"
Favorite Mommy Moment: When Tyler falls asleep on my chest, sweet faces he makes while sleeping
My favorite!
Lots of this going on during month 1 :)
HAHAHAHA!!!
