Two months old

2 months old

Hampton is two months old! We went to the pediatrician today and he is 12 lbs 6 oz and 22 ¾ inches long. Hampton has come a long way in two months. He still battles with pretty severe reflux. We have tried axid, zantac, prevacid, prilosec, and now bethanechol. The poor guy always seems so uncomfortable. We have even been seeing a chiropractor to try and get him some relief.

Gas is still an issue for him. I have tried gas drops and gripe water and neither seems to help. I have tried cutting things out of my diet, but nothing really affects the gas.  From what I have read, many newborns have gas. It should go away as the digestive system matures and as he becomes more active.

Nursing is going really well. He nurses about every 2 hours during the day and will go about a 5-hour stretch at night.

He usually gets his bath and last feeding at 9:00. His first wake time is around 3:30 am and then around 6:00.

He takes two good naps during the day and will catnap the rest of the time. He cannot stay awake much longer than 45 minutes without getting really fussy. He will only nap on the couch in the den on his tummy. I have tried numerous times to get him to nap in his room without any luck. He will sleep at night in his bassinet if he is swaddled and on his side. This little boy hates sleeping on his back.

I have tried taking Hampton out and about but he does not do well in his car seat. In fact, he always screams in his seat. This makes going places with Abby really difficult.

Likes: bouncy seat, watching Abby, eating, sleeping on his tummy

Dislikes: car seat, outings, noise
