It went pretty good. He's very happy with her weight gain.
She weighed 18 lb 5oz which was only 10% but thats good. She is 29 1/4 in long which was 50% and her head was 17 1/4 in which was 10%. She's still a little thing but he's no longer worried about weight. She had a good increase from 9 months to 12 months so he said just let her be little. My oldest has always been long and skinny so it's nothing new. She had to get 4 shots which were we worst E.V.E.R!!
Then we talked about milk. He said since she's not tolerating whole cow milk that soy is just fine, and he will want me to try it at age 2 to see if she grows out of it, but soy is just fine as long as she gets lots of fruits and veggies, which she does. He also said they check iron level at age 1, so we had to go to labs and she had to have labs drawn for iron check. T.H.A.T WAS A.W.F.U.L!!!
so now she's home and sleeping. I gave tylenol before we left so hopefully she doesnt have to bad of side effects from shots.
way to grow Kaileigh!!!! That's great!!! I love that she's still so tiny
Not cool on the shots. Or the iron. ugh. I forgot they do an iron check. WAIT, Kenna's already had one! Woot! But they did a finger prick, what did they do to her???
a D A M N Finger prick but they had to fill 2 circles on a paper AND a mini vial! They squeezed her finger for like 8 minutes! Nothing but screaming and crying
So glad she's doing well. Maggie was 18lbs 9ozs, so pretty darn close to Kaileigh's weight, but my dr never said anything about percentiles. I thought she was perfectly normal sized. I think Kai sounds like she's about an inch taller than Maggie too. Again, he never gives me the spot on the curve where she falls. Sounds like she's doing great!
