Baby Update: 3 Months - Come Wag Along

Joia turned 3 months on August 13th. Each month seems to get here more quickly than the last month! Her personality keeps growing and it definitely amazes me. Just the other day she stuck her tongue out and I captured the moment with a photo. It was definitely a picture perfect moment and it reminded me of how fast she’s growing up! It’s like she discovers something new each day and I love to see her do it.

Growth

I have no idea how much she weighs or her height since she didn’t have to go to the doctor this month. Her next appointment is at 4 months. She is still wearing size 1 pampers. She is still wearing 0-3 month clothes. She can also wear some 3 month old baby clothes too.

Feeding

She still drinks about 4oz of Similac Advance/Parent Choice every 2-3 hours. Sometimes she is content with just 4 oz and other times she wants about 2 more oz in addition to it.

Sleeping

She still wakes up once or twice throughout the night for a bottle. Baths are still helping her sleep better. We tried giving her 6 oz right before bedtime, but she didn’t want it. That was a couple of weeks ago. I think if I tried to give her 6 oz now before bedtime, she would drink it. I heard that feeding a baby a little more before bed helps them sleep longer because they don’t wake up to get fed because the baby is more full. I will be trying this again now that she seems to want to drink a little more every now and then.

We have started trying to get her to sleep in her crib now instead of the rock n play. At first we started out with just laying her down for a nap in her crib, but now we are letting her sleep in her crib sometimes at night as well. At first, it was a little rough at bedtime, but she was napping in her crib great. At bedtime she seemed to be waking up even more than normal throughout the night. My husband put up a crib mobile and we tried again the next night and that helped her fall asleep and sleep longer. Also if she woke up I could just turn the mobile back on and she’d go right back to sleep. Her crib mattress also vibrates which soothes her and makes her go to sleep as well. She is getting used to be in her crib now and I am so very proud of her. My big girl! She has her moments, but for the most part she does very well in her crib. I think she will start sleeping all through the night in her crib soon. My fingers are crossed!

Cradle Cap Update
I haven’t seen a trace of any cradle cap since her last doctor’s appointment. We have consistently been using coconut oil on her head daily and it hasn’t came back! So definitely try coconut oil on your baby’s scalp if you baby has cradle cap. Coconut oil got rid of the cradle cap for us.

My Postpartum Update
My workout routine is still nonexistent LOL and I still have 3 pounds to lose to get back to pre-pregnancy weight. I am still getting adjusted to the whole new baby routine. Having her has definitely changed my life in more ways than one! Working all day and then coming home and doing more work around the house and whatnot definitely makes one tired mommy! I’m also not getting all of my sleep at night due to Joia waking up once or twice. Even though she usually goes right back to sleep after I give her the pacifier or feed her…sometimes I can’t fall right back to sleep. I’m sure if I started a work out routine that it would actually give me more energy and I would be less tired. I just have to put my mind to it and do it! I set the goal for myself to have my flat stomach back before the end of December so I better get to work because I definitely have a pudge.
