Today Julian had 4 month check-up. Doctor confirmed Julian is a happy healthy baby!
Weight 18.3 lb
Height 26.25 in
Head Circumference 17.125 in
He got vaccinations by 2 shots and 1 liquid medicine.
See his dirty eyes to nurse (♯｀∧´)
Dr. suggested to slowly practice skipping midnight feeding, and let Julian sleep throughout a night. She said that put Julian to bed when he is drowsy but still awake instead of rocking him until he is completely asleep. That will help him to learn to fall sleep on his own in his bed.
Also, she suggested to wait a few minutes before responding to Julian's fussing at night. See if he can fall back to sleep on his own. Wait for 1 minute to pick him up when he cries at night, then gradually extend the waiting time every night. That will help him to develop regular longer sleep cycle at night.
Julian, Can you fall asleep without mommy holding you?
Let's start practice!
He did his half roll-over, and got grumpy & fussy :(
After reading a book & singing songs with mommy,
playing with Bu-bu and sucking pacifier ....
Finally Julian fell asleep on his own!! Good job buddy!!
Also, Dr. has confirmed OK to feed Julian solid food that may help him sleep throughout a night. ...But only rice cereal with formula or breast milk by spoon...not other solids until 6 month.The Dr. said do not feed rice cereal with formula by bottle, that may confuse baby's feeling of fullness after a meal and may cause possible obesity.
These are things to know if a baby is ready for solids.....
1) opens mouth for the spoon = Juju totally does that well!
2) can sits with support = Juju can sit on his high-chair!
3) has good head and neck control = yes!
4) shows interest in foods mommy & daddy eat = yes!
今日はジュリアンの4ヶ月検診。ジュリアンは元気に全く問題なく育っています!
体重 8300g
身長 66.675cm
頭周り43.5cm
予防注射もお薬もちょっぴりないただけで、頑張ったよ！
これからは、自分で自然に眠れる様練習させて下さいと先生のアドバイス。抱っこして揺らして寝かしつけるのではなく、眠そうになって来たら、ベットに寝かせるんだそうです。ジュジュ出来るかな？そして、夜中に目を覚まして泣いてもすぐ抱き上げず、初めは1分待ってから。毎日少しずつ待ち時間を伸ばして行く様にするそうです。そのうち、少しずつ長く眠れる様になり、夜中の授乳なしで眠るようになるそうです。
晩御飯にミルクでといたライスシリアルをスプーンで食べさせるのも夜長く寝る様になるには良いそうです。ただし、ライスシリアルとフォーミュラ以外の離乳食は6ヶ月まで待ちましょう。
