Benjamin had his 1 month appt this morning so just a quick update on my last post. He officially weighs 9lbs 2oz and measures 21 1/4 inches! Needless to say the doctor was very impressed with his growth! Yay! He does seem to have a dairy sensitivity so she advised me to continue to avoid dairy until he’s 6 months old. Yuck! Besides that she thought he looked great and she commented on how strong he is. She didn’t have much advice on getting him to sleep longer than an hour and a half or so between feedings at night – just that it might be because he is growing so much and could taper off when that slows down. I’ve got my fingers crossed that is the case! Andrew also started trying to give him a bottle of breastmilk this week; so far he is not a big fan of the bottle but hopefully over the next week or so he’ll come around! Here’s a picture of the first attempt – the still photo makes it look like a much calmer affair than it actually was (unless you look closely at poor Benjamin’s little furrowed brow)!
