This month she has decided to no longer sleep through the night like she had been doing in the past. We have been experimenting with earlier bedtimes, a more consistent bedtime routine, and sleeping in her crib, but so far nothing has really helped. Most nights the only way she will sleep for a significant time is in my arms. I am not totally comfortable with bed-sharing, but for now I have no choice. We need to remember that it could be much worse...we need to stay patient!
She hit an exciting milestone; she rolled over for the first time! From back to belly first and the from belly to back the next day. She only did it once every day or every other day though. Marcus has yet to see her do it!
She also started solids this month! I received a Baby Bullet from my shower and I have really enjoyed making all her food for her! We started out with avocado. She was unsure about it at first, but she really likes it now. She also ate pears, and peas this month.
At the end of the month we had to take her to the pediatrician for a rash. We weren't sure if it was because of her formula, detergent, food allergy, etc., but the doctor said it was likely eczema. We were given new lotion and bath wash.
This month she wore size 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers. She eats anywhere from 4-6 ounces and about 1 jar of baby food per day. I had another postpartum appointment with my OB and everything look okay. I also got my first postpartum period at almost 5 months.
We hope to get her on a better sleeping schedule and to get to the cause of her eczema. It's been a tough month, but definitely a happy one!
