Okay, so things have been a bit hectic in the Newton household since Murray was born and I really want to try carry on with this blog. So I am going to try write once a week on the updates on little Mr Cute.
I can't believe Murray is 4 months old today. It feels like he was born yesterday. We have learnt alot in the last four months, and have come far since the early days! Murray is now smiling and laughing all the time, especially at his dad, who is apparently the funniest man on earth. He is almost sitting (supported by pillows) and now holds on to his feet which have become his new best toys.
Murray still doesn't "sleep through" - but we seem to manage his night wakings/feeding times ok. He usually feeds at about 6pm, around bath time, then at about 11/12pm again then at about 4/5am again, then goes back to sleep till about 7am. Up for about and hour and then back down from anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours (which has been the last few days)!
I am also still breastfeeding exclusively which is a massive achievement for me considering it has not been easy to get to this point. He only feeds off one side, so am a bit lopsided, but I don't mind. Bfeeding is much easier and more convenient than bottle feeding so long may it last. Not really sure how long I will breastfeed for, but we will see. I really will encourage all new mothers to breastfeed and to tell them that it is HARD in the beginning, but is worth sticking to it! No washing bottles, no buying of formula, not sterilising etc! Not to mention the special connection you have with your baby whilst breastfeeding.
Happy 4 months Murray Muz, we love you lots you cutie pie!
