Ryan & Harpers 1 Month Update

Ryan
Weight: 5 lbs 11oz

Harper
Weight: 6lb 11oz

Sleep: Due to their low birth weight they are woken up every 3 hours to eat. They do sleep up until it's time to be woken up though. B & I sleep and nap anytime the girls are asleep.

Eat: 50% breastmilk & 50% neosure formula. Neosure formula is a high carolorie formula made to help preemies put on weight. They will stay on this until they catch up on the growth chart. Plus I'm having difficulty with my supply so it's good that they're on formula.

Diapers: We are using Preemie diapers. Harper is close to newborn size.

Clothes: Still wearing preemie outfits. Harper can wear a few newborn onesies but they're big.


Talk: No talking yet. However, Harper loves to make noises when eating.

Other: Both girls have been gaining weight as they should and catching up quickly. In 4 weeks both girls gained over 2 lbs since leaving the hospital. Their pediatrician is amazed at how well they are doing. The girls never required NICU time despite being born at 36 weeks and being very small. Harper tends to smile the most. Ryan loves snuggling with Harper any chance she gets.
