Calvin is three weeks old today and he has only been out of the house three times for doctor visits. The doctor and nurses recommended that he stay home for the first 4 weeks so that is what we plan on doing. Since there has been a lot of people getting sick, we don’t plan on taking him out too often and we will try not to stay out at night. He has quite the appetite and wants to eat constantly. Many times, he will want more to eat then he can handle and spits it up. For example, when Methuse was trying to burp him this afternoon, he threw up about an ounce all over the bed. It came out fast and abundantly! The joys of parenthood…
Grandpa Al came home today from his trip to Michigan and will be leaving for much longer on Sunday. So he is trying to put in as much time as possible with Calvin. We love to see him with Calvin, making sure that he is always safe, warm and cozy. Jasmyn was excited to be able to read Calvin one of her books tonight before she fell asleep.
So we have been giving Calvin 20ml of Enfamil every 2 hours with breastmilk which was recommended by the nurses. However, since yesterday, he has been cranky once he was done and he still looked hungry. So to test how much he could take, I bumped it up to 60ml and he freaking killed it. I mean, he was literally devouring it in less than 4 minutes but we knew he was tapping out at 60ml as some of the Enfamil was coming back up. He had 4 servings at 60ml and I must say, I enjoy it since he goes longer between feedings. He can sleep longer, so that we can sleep longer. This is a great strategy especially if you can feed around midnight as there is a possibility that he won’t wake up in the early morning for a feeding. The zombie hours. He is still touching his face before he hits the R.E.M. sleep. I guess this one is the Vogue. lol
