| 2-week-old Chase T. |
Height = 19.75 in.
Weight = 6.14 lbs.
Head circumference = 35 cm.
Regained birth weight, which was 6.6 lbs. and then some. Doctor said Chase's gaining weight at a healthy rate.
Umbilical cord dropped off on Saturday, but still has some pus. Pediatrician put some ointment on it to help the healing process. Continue with sponge bath until umbilical cord completely heals.
Expressed concern about consistency of poop, diaper rash and formula. Doctor said to continue with formula since Chase is getting the nutrition he needs, but will re-examine formula if diarrhea continues.
Open sore rash around anus area that Chase had for a week is also healing very well. Doctor said to continue with A & D ointment or aquaphor and monitor. If rash worsen, update him by Friday.
Next is the 2 month appointment where he will receive vaccinations.
What is up with baby? Growth spurt. Hungry and often. Meaning waking up mommy and daddy at all times of night for feeding. Mommy feeds; daddy does the diapers. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Chase is absolutely precious. We can't wait to see you all in person! PS Great job on getting the hubs to take over diaper duty! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mommy Lok. I think Mr. T is catching on to the "But you're so good at changing diapers" line. P.S. Got my first poop projectile today during my turn at the changing table.
