Todays doctor visit - Page 2

Yeah, we do the well child visits primarily as a CYA kind of thing. It's not so bad since we found a doctor and practice we really like; everyone from the doctors to the office staff is friendly, helpful and respectful.

I had another thought for the OP - if you do want to encourage some more weight gain, you might try switching breasts less frequently, so she gets more hindmilk.

i love my ped! she always asks me "do you wnat to come back next month". lol! we are going for his 4 mo. visit b/c the nurse practitioner we see is under the supervison of a dr. and we haven't met him yet. this will be our opportunity to meet him. we arent going for any other reason.

Luka hasn't been in since he was 8 days old- I took him in for the PKU test and a once over.
We were going to go at 3-4 mos. but had insurance issues that I got sorted out. I think we might go in at 6 mos. since we are switching peds and I'd like to meet her so I won't meet her for the first time in an emergency. We'll definitely go at 9 mos. for a lead test, since our neighborhood is full of old houses and my friend's child had lead poisoning a couple of years ago. After that, we'll go around birthdays, which is what I've been doing with Julian since he turned 1.
