3-5 month olds - check in!

How is it going?

DD is 4 months today and weighed in at 14.3lb and 25.75 inches yesterday! We were told we could begin cereal though I think I will wait a bit longer (funny how its just not that exciting with #2 )

Laughing, cooing, mimicking, rolling, even started in the exercauser though she isnt loving it yet! She has started pulling her feet to her mouth, always grabbing her toes and wants to put toys in her mouth in the worst way but isnt fully there yet.

She is also teething! I expect a tooth or two in the next few weeks.

Taking 5 bottles of 4-6oz each and waking usually once per night (still) for a bottle.

Cannot believe how fast time is flying!

Re: 3-5 month olds - check in!

Great idea! It's amazing how fast it goes! Dd was 5 months on Saturday.

Weight: 13 lbs
Height: 26 inches

Sleeping 11 hrs overnight, and naps range from 30-90 minutes every 2.5-3 hrs. She is nicely falling into her own routine!

She takes 4 bottles a day, 4 hours apart, between 4-6 oz each. She's had rice cereal, peas, carrots, avocado, and apples (mostly just a few spoonfuls).

She smiles all the time and started giggling! Loves when I sing nursery rhymes, and her crinkly toys. Is an expert at rolling over now! She is fascinated by her feet. And drooling all over!

DD will be 4 months in 2 weeks. Her last weight was 9lb 10oz. She is a peanut.
She is always smiling and cooing. She has found her feet and hands and is always looking at them. She rolls over and is drooling like crazy.
She takes 4oz every 3-4 hours. She wakes up once for a bottle also, although last night was the first night she slept through.
It's amazing how fast time is flying.

She was 3 months last Thursday! As of Friday she was 12lbs2oz and 23 1/4"... She doubled her weight since birth! Dr says we can start food after her next appointment!

She's mostly sttn now she doesn't wake up to eat at least! She's doing really well she's following us around the room, she loves to try to get both hands in her mouth, she found her feet a few weeks ago and now she can't sit without staring at them lol! Still as happy as ever!

I heard her laugh for the first time yesterday! It was awesome!


I still hate having to go to work!

She eats every 3.-4 hrs she has between 6&7oz

Re: 3-5 month olds - check in!

Ds was 3 months on the 12th I'm not sure how much he weighs since we don't have a 3 month well.
He has been rolling over for just shy of a month he smiling up a storm and even starting laughing
He has bumped up in his clothing size which is always bitter sweet.
He's starting to break 2 teeth on the bottom and isn't handling it so well.
He nursing great 6x a day one of which is in the middle of the night but it doesn't bother me.

Re: 3-5 month olds - check in!

DD turned 5 months yesterday. We don't have a well visit until next month, but at her 4 month check up she was 24 in and 13.5lbs. My guess is that she's just over 14lbs now.

She's STTN and taking 4 8oz bottles. She has a long nap after the morning bottle, and then 2 short naps in the afternoon.

She rolls onto her tummy and is a tummy time champ. However, she hasn't learned to roll onto her back yet. I'm also eagerly waiting for her to sit up on her own.

We haven't started solids yet - planning to do that in a few weeks. She smiles and giggles a ton, and is also a hand and foot eater. She can't get enough of them.

No teeth yet, but she is drooling a lot, so I'm sure they are on their way.

Re: 3-5 month olds - check in!

My DD is 4 months. Her last weigh in was 3 month at 13lbs 24 inches.

She STTN and taking 6-5oz bottles. No solids yet.
Her hands are always in her mouth but she hasn't mastered the feet yet.
She's been smiling for over a month and now giggles and mimicks sounds. Too cute!!

She is currently wearing size 9 month in caters but in the Gap she is 3-6 size.

No teeth yet but lots of drooling.
They grow too quickly. Just wish I could be home with her and not have to work.

so glad to see everybody's babies are doing so well! ds was 4 months on the 9th. he is 14 lbs 11 oz and 24.25 Inches and soooo happy, as long as he's fed. he is beginning to roll more frequently. strangely enough, he first rolled back to belly. he is tripod sitting pretty much on his own and starting to army crawl. I thought his chubbiness would keep him a little less mobile but I guess not lol. he loves his exersaucer. hopefully soon he will get a bit taller so he wont need books under his feet

My baby is 3 month old and he is 18lbs and 26inches. He still feeding every 1.5 hours 4oz.

Re: 3-5 month olds - check in!

DS is 4 1/2 months now and was 26.5 inches and 14.9lbs at his 4 month visit.

he has started eating rice cereal once a day and loving it, and taking 5-6 bottles every 3 hours a day. Def a growing boy!

He is a wild man...rolling over constantly and wanting to "stand" all the time (with help of course). Has recently discovered he can put his feet in his mouth lol.

DD was 5mo on the 8th. She is still a tiny peanut, she was only 23.5 inches and 11lbs 14oz at her 4mo check up.

She is EBF; I feed on demand at home, but she gets three 4-oz bottles at daycare of what I pump at work.

She was STTN while I was home on maternity leave and that stopped once I went back to work. Most nights I have to get up to feed her at least once, with DH going in to sooth her at least one other time.

She is not all that mobile yet. She's rolled over about 3 times total, from tummy to back, and can hardly sit up, even with support. She loves her hands and her feet , they are always in her mouth. She is also talkative, not much of a giggler, but she's always chattering away.

DS just turned 5 months old. He's 18 pounds and 28 inches long. He is eating oatmeal and stage one foods twice a day along with 5-7oz bottles 5times a day.

He is sleeping through the night and just started to roll over a lot.

ds is 2.5 months, at his last visit he was 10 lbs 14 oz and 22 inches long.
He giggles and coos, he drools!, he's rolled over a few times and REALLY REALLY wants to sit up, as the dr said he's doing "baby crunches" He holds his head up really well.
I hate leaving in the morning and love coming home. He's pretty much sttn, waking at around 5 or so to eat.
Cannot complain!

eta: yes I realize this is the 3-5 month post but he's close
