I can't even believe that one whole month has passed since Sawyer James joined us Earth side. I've been in this newborn bubble and soaking in every second with him. He's such a sweet baby and we are just obsessed with him. He's got some pretty bad baby acne but I'm hoping it clears soon!
Eat
This boy nurses 24/7. He's practically attached to my boob at all times. I think part of it is his latch. We've been struggling with his latch ever since my milk came in. At first it wasn't painful at all, but once my milk came in I was VERY aware that he had a shallow latch. He also has a high palette and I'm pretty certain a lip tie. I'm in a course now that I think is helping and I'm doing lots of bodywork on him. Here's hoping I can ditch the nipple shield soon!
Sleep
Sleep has gotten a lot better since the earlier days, but he still fights it sometimes. Within the last week he's actually been sleeping longer stretches. Although he refuses to sleep longer than 2 minutes if it's not contact napping/sleeping. So most of the time he sleeps on my chest. Which honestly at this point I don't mind because it means that I get longer stretches of sleep too.
Stats
We haven't had an appointment for him at the pediatricians office since he was 2 weeks old. That being said, we have weighed him at the chiropractors office. The last visit we had (a couple days ago) he was weighing in at 9 lbs 0 oz. I can't say I'm surprised with how this boy eats. I also feel like he's gotten longer too. I'd guess he's probably about 20 inches or so now.
