2 Month Baby Well Check Up

Easton had his 2 month check up this morning. He's doing great except for his weight. He's 75% for his height and 10% for his weight. He weighed 9lbs 8oz and was 23.2 inches long. Drs only concern is his weight gain. I have exhausted everything when it comes to breast feeding. I have introduced formula in his daily diet..only.... 2 oz in the afternoon after nursing and 2 oz in the evening before bed so his tummy is fuller. The Dr. wants me to try for a couple of weeks to nurse him and then give him as much formula from a bottle he will take. He wants to see if he'll put on some weight or if he'll stay in the 10 percentile and just be a long and skinny little boy. I'm very disappointed that my body isn't producing enough milk to fulfill his nutritional needs but I can't starve him either. These last 8 weeks have been very trying for me and little Easton but if I have to give him formula for his growth then thats what I"m going to do. At least he's getting half breast milk and half formula and not all formula. Hopefully our little guy starts growing.

Easton loves his formual...when he's super hungry he lets us know it by holding his fists by his ears. Whenever his fists are by his ears and he's screaming like a teridatckle..its time eat. He is definitely a stubborn little guy when it comes to him being hungry.

As for his vaccinnes..Jesse and I have decided to do the alternate route and give him his shots once a month instead of all the shots at the same time. Just not comfortable with all that medicine in his body at one time. The Dr doesn't really agree with me but this is the way Jesse and I are comfortable doing.

First Christmas Family Picture

I can't believe that Easton is almost 2 months old. He really has grown and has actually put some weight on. Last night Easton was even a big boy and slept in his very own crib for the first time with out the carseat in it. He did very well..only woke up once to nurse and after nursing he went right back to sleep in his crib. Hopefully I'll be able to get him on a schedule to where he can sleep through the night as well as in his crib. Would be nice for Jesse and I to actually get a good eight ours of sleep.

Full nights rest!

Another awesome night...Easton slept through his first whole night with out waking. It was an amazing 10-5:30 and Jesse and I had a full nights rest. So proud of my little man!

Well...last night Easton had an awesome night. I put him down at 11 in his car seat and he didn't wake up till 4 am. I actually had to wake him up for fear he was hungry. I've read that he can sleep through the night now instead of having to get up to be fed so from now on I will no longer be waking him up to nurse. So thankful both Easton and I had a good nights rest. It was much needed after a couple of days of no sleep.

Sleeping Schedule

Our little pickle is back to spuratic sleeping habits. For the last two nights he has been wide awake the entire night. Not sure how we got our schedule off but it is so frustrating when you have a wide a wake baby and a completely exhausted mommy. Hoping to get our sleeping schedule actually on a schedule.
