Four months on
Time sure flies. Today Baby Ali turns four months old. There are some significant changes I can see in Baby Ali, in behavioral patterns as well as physically :
1) Growth
From a baby born of just over 2kgs, Baby Ali is now twice his original weight. He is now feeding 3-4 ounces of milk every 3-4 hours during the day. This is coupled with spoon feeding of 2-3 scoops of baby cereal twice daily which we had started to give him only since early this week. I can also see that he is taller now although I’m not sure by how much because I do not have a record of how tall he was during birth.
2) Sleeping and feeding habits
Up to about a week ago, Baby Ali used to wake up every hour at night to feed. The amount of feeding during those times fluctuates, where at times Baby Ali can take up to 3 ounces and other times he may only take just a few seconds worth(of milk) before falling asleep again. Now the pattern has improved somewhat where Baby Ali wakes up only 2-3 times nightly. And since he sleeps at around 10pm and wakes up at about 7am, feeding is done at about 3 hour intervals.
I must admit that all in all, these four months has been a tiring but great eye opening experience. I wonder what Baby Ali has in store for us next?
