Saya @ 1 Month

I am a little late on providing Saya's 1 month update and since she hits 6 weeks tomorrow, I thought I would get on the ball.

Saya Vittoria
Age: 1 Month

Weight: 10 lbs.

Height: 21 1/4 in

Milestones:

• She can lift her head for short periods of time and tries to do this often. I can sit her on my lap without really supporting her head.
• She is starting to smile for real
• No matter what she is looking at, when Mama or Papi comes near her she turns towards us
• She is drinking at least 4 oz at a time every 2.5 - 3 hours
• We have finally found the bottles (Playtex Ventaire) and formula (Similac Sensitive - Lactose free) that she can handle with less gas problems. She didn't take well to my breastmilk or Enfamil Premium Lipil formula.

Challenges:

• Her "witching hour(s)" are between 7 pm - 10 pm where she is crying off and on nearly every day
• She is a really gassy baby.
• Doesn't like sleeping on her back. She will sleep peacefully in her swing, her chair and her boppy (all being supervised of course) but as soon as you lay her in her bassinet, play pen or crib, it takes a few seconds to wake herself up.

Sleep:

• Usually she gets up every 2.5 - 3 hours for a feeding or changing then goes right back to sleep.
• Her current wake up times are 10:30pm, 12:30am, 3:30am, 5:30am
• On occasion she does surprise us with a 7 hour sleep time... Mommy and Papi love those little surprises :)
• Her nap times are becoming shorter. She will still have an occasional 3 hr nap but mostly during the day they are about 20 - 30 mins
