New doctor, New Rules.

So, today we met with Anna's new doctor. Walking in the office, I already felt more at ease. The receptionist and nurses were sweet and the office was kid-friendly. Toys, books and lots of magazines for Mommies :). We met with the doctor who answered all of our questions, and seemed to be on top of it all.

Here is what we learned (for those who care) :):

Our house is too hot. Apparently, it is supposed to be 65-68 degrees. We learned in Infant care class that it is supposed to be 72 degrees. Alas, our heat has caused her already dry skin to be irritated. Poor girl has her mother's skin. Ash.

She should be on stage 2 foods already, our old doc said to stay on stage one. hmmmm.

She needs to eat solids (with protein..he suggests beef) at bedtime. This means our entire bedtime routine needs to be revised. This means a tough week(s) ahead. argh.

NO MORE PACIFIER! OH NO! In all honesty, i am not sure how i feel about this one. I am going to do my own research and use my gut. Mother's instincts have to count for something, right?!?

She is an adaptable, well-adjusted baby. She had her flu-shot (always harder than me, than on Anna). Doc said she was very adaptable because she was able to be distracted easily after the shot. what a good girl. She has to get another shot in 4 weeks. :(

that about wraps it up. Thanks for caring....
