To counter all the bad visits people talk about here, we just had another great visit today.<br><br>
7 months, 24 pounds and 2 oz <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/yikes.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="EEK!">, 75 cm.<br><br>
He " you're a big baby, that's good!"<br><br>
She only eats around 2 teaspoons, if at all, a day and self feeds<br><br>
He " that's fine, she doesn't really need anything else besides breast milk in the first year anyway"<br><br>
We are delaying vaxing and only had one shot today. We used EMLA cream and she didn't notice what was going on and didn't show in any way she even felt the nurse touch her leg.<br><br>
He " I'd do polio last, you wouldn't be able to get it in the U.S. even if you tried. She can get the hep B shot any time in life, it isn't really important at this age"<br><br>
Because he's so great I'll forgive them that they don't do Pediarix <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/winky.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Wink">

Isn't it a great feeling to know that you have found a medical professional that you really like? We had our first wbv a week ago and I was really surprised. The doc went through all of the vaxes and prioritized them in case we decided to do some or all later on. She also re-spiked his hair into the little mohawk we keep in after she examined him <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/lol.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="lol">
