We love Christmas!!!!!
Hello,
Freddie's latest weigh in put him at 11 pounds and 4 ounces. We're thrilled with how he is doing.
Freddie is still on a daily iron medicine and I have recently contacted the paediatrician we see at the City hospital regarding this. He has advised me to keep giving Freddie the iron until our next appointment, which is in February and he will then assess whether or not he needs it any more. Apparently it is important for babies that were born prematurely to take iron for a significant period of time.
Last night Freddie lasted from his bed time feed (7:30pm ish) all the way till 3:30am which is fab and we're hoping he's on the road to sleeping through the night!
Freddie's hair is coming back nicely and you can't really see the bald patches anymore they just look like areas where his hair has rubbed off which happens to most babies.
I'm already starting to think about his next appointment at Glenfield, but trying not to worry about it because it isn't until February. There are no signs that Freddie's heart isn't performing as it should be but it will be nice to have some reassurance from the scans (hopefully).
Samuel is bonding with Freddie brilliantly and is still great at making him smile. He is quite protective of him and wants to show him toys and things of his.
"What you looking at!!!"
Hope everyone is enjoying the build up to Christmas as much as us!!
