I’ve had a bit of a weird few days – the plunket lady came over and was freaked out by an unusual looking rash Preston had (everyone at coffee group said it was just a hormone rash their babies had too). But she ‘didn’t feel it was her place to advise me what to do’ so that was unhelpful. In the end I mixed some acidophilus powder with some breastmilk and it was all gone by the morning (otherwise I was off to the doctor).
Preston also lost weight this week, which she was also worried about, but couldn’t tell me what to do about it either. Sigh. So she left me feeling all worried that I was doing things wrong – the only thing she told me was to go to the plunket drop in day on Wednesday and get him weighed again to see if he has gained anything this week. I’ve been feeding like crazy hoping to get him meeting their growth and development chart…not that it probably matters anyway since surely it is just a guide. He seems totally fine which is the main thing, so hopefully its just a small blip and I’ve been worried for nothing.
Other than that, Preston now smiles and occasionally giggles at us which is really cute :) He is really interested in studying faces and spends a long time just looking at us.
This week we are off to Dunedin, Christchurch and Napier to show him off around the country, so wish us luck for our long flights with a 6 week old baby....
