Today, Sky is 3 weeks old and weighs 9.2 pounds, an impressive gain since birth. This puts her above the 50th percentile in terms of weight. Her chubbiness is simply irresistible! I love squeezing her baby fat and hugging her chunky body in my arms.
Sky is also a good sleeper. She sleeps in 3 to 4 hour stretches, which is surprising for an exclusively breast fed baby. The problem is when she is up! For the past week, she has been experiencing excessive gas, which causes her to cry and become fussy, poor thing. While some gas is expected, due to being a newborn, I suspect my diet is making the situation worse. I am in the process of figuring out what I need to eliminate.
