Riley 4 weeks on.

So today Riley is 4 weeks old, it only feels like yesterday that I was having my cesarean. Nothing major has happened in this month.

She was born 6Ib 2oz and lost some weight in the first 4 days which is bound to happen and normally happens. She went down to 5Ib 7oz which was within the 10% range if she lost more than 10% we probably would have ended up in hospital. She gain back her weight on the day the community midwives discharge me from their care. Then 2 days later she put on more weight when the health visitor came to talk about what they do etc. She was 6Ib 5oz that was about 2 weeks ago. Will be getting her weighed tomorrow hopefully at the weigh in clinic as health visitor as asked me to pop in before she comes out to do 6 week check on Riley and myself.

Riley was terrible at bringing up wind or I was just inpatient to wait for ages but she has been on Infacol which helped a bit but then we discovered Dentinox Colic Relief and used it about 3 times and it worked a star so I stopped using it as she was bringing up wind fine however she has wind the other end now so have started to using it again as the wind the other end is really making her uncomfortable. This morning after 3 lots of dentinox she doesn't seem as uncomfortable.

She had to have two scans this month too. One for a dimple on her back which Tyler had to have a scan for and on her hips. Both scans was all good and nothing to worry to about. Riley's heel prick which the midwife does on day 5 came back clear too.

We get her registered next month and have her 6 week check over by health visitor and then at 8 weeks she will have her first lot of immunisations which will roughly be in 4 weeks time.

She is too young to take interest in toys at the moment so I just talk to her. Tyler is very good with her too. He loves her and very helpful at getting things like nappies for me and putting her dummy in if she is crying.

Cheerio for now.
