Pediatrician Follow-Up Appointment
Jacob’s follow-up appointment from last week went well. His weight was checked and he is now 10 pounds, 12 ounces which the doctor was delighted with his weight gain. Our boy is definitely filling out and isn’t too chubby yet. You would think as much and as often as he eats, he would REALLY be porking out…
The new formula seems to be okay with the little dude, but the relief of #2 seems to be a little difficult, but the doctor wasn’t concerned. Soy milk does causes “things” to be a little more solid. Amy and I had already talked about this after doing some more research (Amy did…) and started feeling that the gun may have been jumped last week when the formula was changed. So, we are going to finish up the soy stuff we have and go back to the Nestle Good Start. If there is another situation, then we will just get back to the soy on our own. Amy would rather not have him pop out an eye ball because he is pushin’ so hard for #2.
Not sure if anyone has noticed because the pictures can be a little bit difficult to decipher, but Jacob has had some redness and funky skin on his cheeks which has spread to behind his ears, etc. We also noticed that he had/has cradle cap or “crap” as Amy would say. What we didn’t know was that cradle crap doesn’t just show up on a baby’s head. It can be on his face, etc. So, Jacob has cradle crap on his cheeks, ears, chin, head, etc. Never fear, mom was on the on the trail already and purchased exactly what the doctor was going to suggest. It is a Eucerin product for babies.
Jacob also has some baby acne slightly above his private area, so we are to put Desitin on that. Basically what I am trying to say is that Jacob is just one big slime ball when he gets all lathered up in all of his goo!!!
So, everything seems to be going right along with the flow without any big issues. Let’s hope that we can stay out of the doctor’s office until his 2 month appointment in a couple of weeks.
