She is sleeping great, at least nine hours at night during the week and 10-11 on weekends. She puts herself to sleep for a nap pretty easily, which is awesome! We transitioned to swaddling her with her arms free, which she loves. She likes to be on her side or tummy now when she sleeps, and is rarely on her back.
She tried rice cereal this month and is doing pretty well now. At first, she didn't get it but after a few weeks she has shown improvement every time. Not too long and we will start adding in some fruits and veggies :) She takes 4 ounces every 2.5-3 hours and takes 5 at her nighttime bottle. Doctor was very cautious about moving her up to 5 at a feeding because of her reflux, plus she is still on the small side for her age.
She spent all month in her latest fashion accessory......THE HELMET :) I was so worried about how she would adjust but she did great! She had a couple of rough nights sleeping at first, but it didn't really seem to phase her after that. It was weird seeing her in it at first, but now it's weird to see her without it!! However, we are anxious for it to be gone so we can go back to wearing BOWS again!!
Her Physical Therapist said she is doing great and progressing with her torticollis. She mentioned that she might need therapy for just a few more months. We have really been working on sitting up, but she just hasn't mastered it quite yet. I think she definitely is about a month behind with most of her milestones, which is completely normal since she was a month early. She did roll over just about a week after her 4 month birthday and of course- she rolled over from her back to her tummy first, opposite of what most do!
She really loves to be outside and watch the leaves blowing in the wind. She also loves bath time much more than she used to. She is pretty laid back and we take her just about anywhere!
It is so fun to see how much she changes from week to week! Here is her 5 month pic....
