1 week old

You are a fairly calm, mellow baby so far. You sleep a lot, averaging 3h between feedings, sometimes 4-5h, which we appreciate in the middle of the night. Even so you are already up to 8lbs, so we know you are eating well when you are awake. You usually spit up after nursing and we have gone through many changes of clothes. Usually after spitting you have the loudest hiccups, they last a while. Your latch is not great, we are trying to fix it – you don’t open your mouth enough and don’t extend your tongue over your lower gums. We end up playing a game of trying to get you to open your mouth big every time you have to eat. You also choke often when nursing, scaring us every time. You don’t like anybody holding your feet, as we found out when changing diapers. You peed all over the place, on yourself, everywhere, when Daddy changed your first diaper. You repeated the same one week later, making our bed wet. You have some good alert time every day, opening your eyes wide and staring at things and people around you. You make a ton of noise while sleeping, now we know it starts a long time before you actually wake up. Some good 30min, sometimes even more. You take the pacifier to sleep sometimes and can fall asleep by yourself swaddled in the bassinet, without crying, just peacefully laying there.
