Brentley Rae at 2 months
I can't believe our little Brentley Rae is already two months old. Where does the time go? We are getting back to normal as far as our household goes. We are somewhat on a routine (I'm not sure if there will ever be a routine without interruptions). I have gone back to work and it's going better than expected with her going with me. She is actually better at work than at home. (can't figure that one out) . Here are some 2 month milestones that Brentley Rae has reached
Weight 11.0 lbs (50%)
Height 22.25 inches (50%)
Eats 3 oz bottles every 2.5 to 3 hrs
Loves to look at lights
Has begun to follow us with her eyes as we walk around her
Lots of cooing
Big smiles (especially at dad)
Sleeping less during the day but having longer naps
Only wakes once at night to eat and goes right back to sleep (this was before the formula)
Loves her bouncy chair
She is taking a pacifier but prefers gnawing her hand (that drives me crazy)
Still breastfeeding, but supplementing formula twice a day
Likes her Baby Einstein lullaby video
Recognizes the high and low pitches of voice
This week we went to the doctor for her 2 month checkup and shots. Paul went with me because I wasn't sure how I would do with her getting the shots. But we all did fine. The shots were over before she realized what happened. Everything went well at the doctor. We talked about several things that was on our mind. I'm ready to start supplementing some breastmilk with formula. We have had some screaming crying issues about twice a week so we thought this would be a good time to try to ween her off the breastmilk. We are giving her two bottles a day of the formula and so far so good. Since we started giving her formula in the evening she has slept all night (10:00 to 6:30). (Kinda which we did that earlier) As far as the screaming issues, the doctor thinks she has some acid reflux issues. He told us to give her Mylanta as soon as the fit starts and we did and she stopped crying almost immediately. So we are hoping the Mylanta does the job so we don't have to resort to Previcid. Lastly, he told us she has Tortocollis. In normal terms that basically means she has "stiff neck". According to the medical journals mom has been reading, they believe this is caused during labor. Her neck was probably stretched so far to one side for so long and now it has retracted. She has only been turning her head to the right side. We start physical therapy on Tuesday and I will update you on that.
We are making her lay on her left side to stetch the muscle
