4 months old already!

Nico's 4 month Dr.'s appointment went wonderfully!
Nico is 13 pounds, 13 ounces and 25 inches long.
He got a couple shots too on his legs.
There are a couple things that we we told to do now that he is 4 months old:
  • Nutrition:we can give him 1-2 ounces of water, main source should be breast milk, supplement formula as needed.
  • Sun Safety: he can wear sunscreen---a special baby one; he shouldn't be out in the sun between 10-4pm; Reflected light from the water can burn Nico even in the shade.
  • Bug safety: He can wear repellent that has 30 % DEET
  • Boat Safety: We can't leave him alone for one second, and he has to wear an approved flotation device that's designed for his size and weight.
  • Sleep info: his naps have to be in his bed, he shouldn't be awake for more than 2 hours between naps. He can't be on high surfaces that he can fall off of, like bed or changing table unattended, he may fall.
