Ethan is nearly 4 weeks old. We went for a clinic visit today and all is good. He is doing very well and is a very good feeder (so far).His measurements are:
Weight: 3.58kg gained 290g in 12 days
Length: 52cm gained 2 cm from birth
Head: 36.3cm gained 1.3cm from birth
All very good. He has passed his birth weight - Riley didn't do this.
Riley is also doing well. She has her jealous moments but I guess that is to be expected. She loves Ethan and has been seen licking his head - not sure why, but at least she is not poking and prodding him.
You may be able to see that Ethan has broken out in pimples. He looks a bit like a pimply "teenager". This is due to the hormones being secreted and indicates the end of the 3 week growth spurt.
From Thursday we start "sleep training". This means that the last scheduled feed at night is at 19h00. We then leave him till he wakes up (probably at about 00h00). We then leave him again till he wakes again and start the schedule at 07h00 again.
The end result should be a baby who "sleeps through"... Yes Please !!!!
