What a guzzler!

Being a new parent is quite an education in more ways than one. George's sleep and eating patterns have changed even over the last 2.5 weeks!

The general rule that we were told was, during the day your baby should feed at least every 3.5 hours and don't let it be any longer than that. At night however, if the baby sleeps longer, don't wake the baby to feed (yeah I wish!). Coupled with this information we were told not to let George start crying for food; start him as soon as he starts to grizzle. Well, over the last week he has been grizzling quite a bit and more often than before and at first we thought he had a lot of "trapped wind" but have been feeding him as soon as (which obviously stops the grizzling - you try and whinge or grizzle when eating or drinking!).

So imagine our surprise when he got weighed today - his weight has gone up from the last 'weigh in' of 7lb 8oz too 8lb 7oz! He obviously is going through one of his growth spurts (which we were made aware of before).
What a guzzler!

BTW - he is 51cm long
