One Month

Miles had his one month pediatrician visit today.  His weight was only 8lbs 14oz so obviously my home scale and the office scale are not synced up.  Still, I'm very happy with his weight.  He's also 22 inches in length now - up from 20.5 inches at birth.  He's growing!

At the visit he got his second hepatitis B vaccination.  He did really well, calmed down right away after his shot.  We talked with our pediatrician about sleep - she suggests that we encourage self soothing as much as possible.  Dr. Sears - the pediatrician most known for attachment parenting - discourages self soothing and encourages rocking or walking a baby to sleep and cosleeping for the duration of breastfeeding or longer.  I'm kind of confused now about which method we'll follow.  I guess this is the classic debate about sleep issues and children.

Here are more pictures of Miles!
