4 month well visit

Weight: 15 lb. 8 oz.....75th %
Height: 25 inches.....75th %
Head: 41.8 cm....75th %

Just a little update :)

She did pretty good with her shots. She only cried for maybe 10 seconds. She was fussy in the evening and just wanted to nurse and sleep.

The doctor said to start her on food after she turns 5 months. The APA recommends babies be eating at 6 months, so she said to get her to be "eating" by 6 months, you start around 5 months. Does that make sense?

Can't believe she once weighed 6 lbs. 4 oz!! She has more than doubled her weight. And she was 19 1/2 inches when she was 6 days old...she has grown 1/2 a foot already!

I just want time to stand still sometimes. Love her soooo much!!

Great stats!

On the food, we did baby-led weaning and waited until 6 months. Just keep in mind that breastmilk or formula is the main source of nutrition for the first year. Solids are just for fun and exploration so don't fret too much that she isn't eating enough solids.

Good advice Sarah! I agree with what you're saying. My new goal is to make it at least a year now with breastfeeding as her primary food source. (my old goal was 6 months)
