piper's third week
days 15 to 21
 
dear piper, this week you met your grandpa frank, while you were still just over 2 weeks old. the first thing he did when he got here was scoop you right up! we also got to go on a picnic with grandpa frank, "bestemor" tove, uncle ryan and wendy.  we also all went out to dinner for your dad's birthday. this week was full of family fun!
  • the first time you took to your pacifier was from tove, but you wouldn't end up doing that again for another week.
  • you love to stretch your arms and legs out: S-T-R-E-T-C-H-!
  • you are getting a healthy little double chin!
  • you are also getting very, very fussy and you poor thing, you are very gassy - we started trying everything we could find to make you feel better
  • you also started getting baby acne
  • breastfeeding was really, really hard this week ... not for you, but for me
  • your dad says that my "mama bear" instincts really started kicking in this week and i started to get very protective of you!

pump her legs up and down to help with the gas. infant massages help a lot too.

if you are breastfeeding, you might want to ask your doc about changing your diet to help with the gassiness (i had to give up dairy for 5 months).

if you are formula feeding, you might want to change the formula or even the type of bottle.

call me if you need more tips!
