Ok so we went in last Thursday for Madeline 6 months check up. Here are her stats:
Weight: 16 lbs 14.4 oz (75-90%)
Height: 25 3/4 inches (50-75%)
Head Circumference: 16 1/2 (25-50%)
He told us that we need to start getting the house babyproof. He said for us to crawl around on our hands and knees to see what all she could get into. He also told us the order in which he likes to handle teething...which is the method that we wanted to use too. Use Orajel as the LAST option! We will start with teething rings and then move on to Tylenol. If neither of those work then we are going to use teething tablets and then Ibuprofen. Hopefully one of the above will work b/c we have heard that no studies have been done on Orajel to see if it is ok to use on babies. Then he told me that I could start feeding her three times a day. So now we are doing cereal in the morning, fruit for lunch, and veggies for supper. Oh lastly Madeline got her second Pneumococcal shot. We are doing Dr. Sears schedule so she only gets one to two shots per visit instead of the three that they normally would give her.
Dr. Bhakta also signned off on Madeline daycare records, yep she is starting on Monday. :(
