Otso's 1st Month

Today Otso is 1 month old!

20.10 birth!
22.10 started non-meconium poo
23.10 come home
24-27.10 Mummu visit
25.10 belly button stub fell off
31.10 - 3.11: Vaari visit
26.10 first bath. Not a happy experience because he was cold.
29.10 Angela ate asparagus; miserable evening due to resulting gas.
6.11 we noticed slightly more arm and hand control, a little more effective reaching.
10-13.11 äiti sick with mastitis
15.11 first social smile. Adorable and endearing!

Eating
He usually eats reasonably efficiently. He is having trouble getting a good latch consistently. Mostly eating every 3 hours. We had a little strange spit up after I had some cheese, so I am trying to avoid dairy as well as gluten and gassy vegetables.

Health
1.11 - seems to have a diaper rash, maybe yeast. we switched to disposables for a couple of days and now try to wash him in the sink (not just use the wipes).
11.11 seems to have a terrible yeast diaper rash
12.11 otso starts passively getting the antibiotics for the mastitis, starts spitting up a LOT.
13.11 use of the antifungal cream we got for a diaper rash of lumi's clears up the rash pretty quickly. Unfortunately, he seems to have a bit of his sister's cold and listening to him trying to breathe while on his back at night is awful.
He has some baby acne.

Likes/Dislikes
likes - milk, sucking on hands, being carried on the shoulder
dislikes - being cold, being hot, being hungry

Stats
Birth: 3.58 kg, 34 cm head circumference, 50 cm long
8.11: 4.2 kg, 37.5 head circumference
His feet are unusually long, so newborn socks didn't fit, and footed pants are problematic.
