Max is 2 months old!





It's no joke, Max turned 2 months old on April 1. Today I took him to the pediatrician for his 2-months check up. He is now 11lbs 11oz and 22.5 inches long. His weight is in the 50% percentile and height is 25 - 50%. We also checked on his jaundice and it's improved a lot and almost in the normal range. The doctor doesn't think we need to worry about it anymore.

In the last few days, Max has started to establish a feeding/sleeping pattern. He feeds every 3 hours at 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm and 9pm. After 9pm, he falls asleep around 10pm and sleeps until anywhere from 12:30am - 2am. Then he'll wake up again between 3:30am - 5am. But for this feeding, he'll only eat for about 3 minutes before falling asleep again. Which would be fine except he wakes up again at 6am. Then 8am. So in the last couple of days, I've been trying to get him to go back to sleep when he wakes up at 4am and not feeding him until 6am. I'm hoping that he'll eventually learn to sleep from 12am - 6am. Or at least I can wish, right?
