Nap times may be from one hour to three hours. Baby has at least six wet diapers per day and urine is a pale yelowish color. Bowel movements do not count as wet diapers, only urination does. When baby has bowel movements, they are either frequent and small, or less frequent and large. Bowel movements should be regular and coincide with feedings.
Baby gains an average of four to six ounces a week during the first month.
By the third month baby gains approximately six to eight ounces a week. Weight gain varies considerably, and should be done at your doctor s office as home weighing can be deceiving. You should never compare your baby s weight gain to that of other babies. All babies gain weight at different rates and no two infants are alike, even if they are siblings. Also remember that infants have sucking needs beyond their feeding needs.
