one month

So our little man was one month old yesterday and OMG time is absolutely flying past.  We have had a few bad days, he is suffering from reflux pretty bad and gas, and just wasn't sleeping.  The more he didn't sleep the worse it all got and the harder it was to settle him.  But I had a good talk to the health nurse yesterday and we covered some things on getting him to settle better.

So he as basically been asleep ever since and he seems so much better. I bought him an old school bouncer on the way home yesterday and he loves it.  Sleeps in it beautifully.

It was good to get around 7 hours sleep last night.  DH takes Tyler at night while I go to bed around 7:30.  Tyler didn't wake for a feed until 3:30am!!!  So for me that was heaps of sleep! YAY.

We have started getting him to fall asleep on his own and the last day he has been doing that really well.  After reading a few tips on sleeping and applying those things its been heaps better.  I really didn't want him getting a dependence on relying on falling asleep on me.  Apparently they sleep in 45min waves, at that 45min mark they go into a lighter sleep and if they don't know how to resettle themselves they will wake and expect you to resettle them.  This habit will start forming at 6-8weeks so I am glad I found out about this and started getting him used to falling asleep himself now.

At his check up yesterday he had put on another 370g so now he weighs a whopping 4.75kg. thats a 1.1kg gain in one month!

well short post as Tyler has an appointment with the Osteopath soon so I better run.

Some piccies.
