Our 1-Week-Old (Happy Birthday Jacksy!)

For now, your baby sleeps most of the day and feeds every two to three hours. Babies are born with many automatic reflexes that help them make the transition to life outside the womb. Stroke his cheek, and he'll turn his head toward your finger and move his mouth as if groping for a nipple. If you hold him upright, he'll move his legs as if walking. Most of these automatic reflexes disappear within weeks of birth.

******************************************************

Maybe because Jack is a big boy and has a big tummy, he is able to go three to four hours between feedings. He nurses for a long time and will often doze between courses. :) After nursing, he will usually fall right back to sleep, but sometimes he'll just be quietly awake. I never know what he's looking at and I always wonder what he's thinking... but before long, he will fall asleep and the cycle starts all over again.
