Weight - Katherine has been getting Reuben weighed every month just so we can monitor if he is gaining steady weight, it seems he is on the right track and his femur length has stayed consistent during the first 3 months (extremely long) We think he is around 12lb mark but he is to be weighed next Monday the 7th April so I will be sure to tell you!
Milestones - Reuben seems to get very bored being sat/led still doing nothing so he is always fidgeting, he likes tummy time as he gets the opportunity to lift his head up and seeing what is around him, bless him he is quite a nosy chap but his neck is getting much stronger by doing so!
He has started trying to stand up when held up by Mummy/Daddy and has very strong legs, it must be why they are so chunky :) the HV has always said how surprised she is about how strong his neck & legs are.
We wake up so happy when we get to see this little man smiling back at us!!
Clothes - We find that everywhere you go fitment is different! Because Reuben is VERY long we find it a bit harder to find stuff that fits in length but doesn't hang off him at the same time. Mothercare/Next items seem to give off a snugger fitment but not as long as say GAP/H&M. We currently love the Paddington Bear range (post coming soon) from Baby GAP.
Routines - We have tried to maintain the 'Bath, Bottle & Bed' routine and it has been working, he is sleeping through from around 8/9 to 6 in the morning which is a godsend. Being able to sleep 8 hours again!
Sleeping - Our little star has been sleeping through since around 10 weeks so Mummy & Daddy are very well rested :)
Eating - Reuben has had his first try of baby rice and porridge with a rusk in the evening (recommended by the HV believe it or not!) we always fed him 6/7oz bottles of first milk but he seemed to get very bored and stop drinking it but then crying he was hungry - he LOVES his food does this boy so it's nice to be able to vary it up and keep him interested!
It definitely keeps him full up for longer encouraging a longer sleep pattern so I would definitely recommend it.
Comments are always welcome :)
