So on Friday 3/12, I went to the dr. Our doctor had gone home sick, but another one came in to see her patients. Mommy made the mistake of not doing all her homework before approaching the doctor about an alternate vaccination schedule. So, we ended up getting most the recommended vaccines: Rototeq (oral for rotovirus), Prevnar (shot 2 of 4), and the Pentacel shot (combines Hib, IPV and DTaP). The one she agreed to postpone was the hepatitis B shot, which he will get at his 9 month visit.
Stats from this visit:
- weight: 14lbs 15oz (50th percentile)
- length: 25 1/4 inches (50th percentile)
- head circumference: 16 3/4 inches (75th percentile)
We also talked to the dr about sleep training (she gave us an article, but recommended we set a time frame to get him sleeping in his crib), told her we started him on the soy formula, and also asked her about giving him more than 4 oz at a time (she said we could try it and see what happens). We tried the 6 oz the next day (Saturday), but he spit up probably 2 oz of it. Then we tried about a week later and he only spit up an ounce. Maybe we'll try again in another week or so, but for the most part, he just gets 4oz of formula (with 1 tsp of rice cereal) at each feeding. The dr also gave us a paper on starting solid foods. There will be a separate post (with pictures!) on that. :)
Note from Mommy: That weekend was also daylight savings time. Didn't really affect sleeping times, he was just cranky/fussy all weekend. On Monday, he was running a fever of 101.9, so we just took a layer of clothes off to cool him down a bit. He was better by Tuesday.
