Now that the doctor's visits are more spread out, I don't have as much medical news to post - which is good. When we went to the doctor's last week he said Maximo didn't have to return for one month for a check-up and vaccinations.
He's continuing to grow - and outgrow clothing. He's doing well, but is suffering from terrible gas. I'm not sure what's causing it, but I'm now drinking chamomile and fennel teas to try to help combat it. It's rough to watch him squirm in pain; hopefully it won't be a long-term thing.
We're also waiting to go more than 3 hours between feedings. I've read that preemies eat a lot to try to catch up. He's doing that - last night every hour and a half. hopefully as he gets bigger, his stomach will get bigger and he'll be a more proficient eater (& sleeper).
