Update on Jaida @ 6w 3d

Finally saw the CHN last Thursday after she was off sick for 2 weeks. So here is an update:

Weight - 4480g (1180g gain in 4 weeks! 940g up from birth)
Length - 60.5cm (grown 9.5cm since birth!)
Head circ - 37.5cm (grown 3.5cm since birth)

At 6w 5d Charlotte was 5130g and at 10w 5d she was 60cm!

I looked up one of those percentile charts, and with length - she started on the 50th percentile, and has jumped up to the 97th percentile - in 6 weeks! So looks like Jaida is going to be very tall!

I am still making up 120ml bottles - has around 80-120ml at each feed, after both breasts - which I am sure she is getting almost nothing from. She generally has 7 - 8 bottles a day.

Usually wakes once a night. Last night she woke at 3am, then started crying at 6am so I got up and started to get her bottle, but she went quiet. So I thought I would leave her and see what happens - went back to bed, next thing I know it's 8am! Was nice to have a bit of a sleep in! Even though I am very lucky with only one wake up most of the time - I am still looking forward to sleeping through LOL.
