Unfortunately, I wasn’t quite as enamored with the pediatrician’s office this time. Last time, I got in before my scheduled time. Today? Just over 45 minutes late. With no explanation or apology. :## I’m just hoping it was an off day, as one of the other waiting patients made a comment that they’ve never had to wait before.
So…Katie gained {one ounce shy of} two pounds in the past two weeks! She’s 10 lbs. 13oz.—95th percentile in height and weight, baby.
Lordy. Another Owen in the making…
Weight: 10 lbs. 13 oz!! (was 8 lbs. 14 oz at two weeks)
Height: 21-3/4″ (was 20.5″ at birth)
Head:
I like the pediatrician well enough, but she DIDN’T LISTEN to me today—not a big deal overall, but it was annoying. She asked how much Katie was eating and how often. I said 4-5oz every 2-3 hours EXCEPT at night since she sleeps through the night. So she does the mental calculation half out loud (24 hours / every 3 hours = 8 feedings at 5oz each) and says “So you’re feeding her 40oz a day? That’s too much.” With a definite judgmental-sounding tone.
Um, no.
I repeated that it wasn’t ALL day since she slept through the night. So I pulled out my handy dandy baby tracking app and told her the average daily feeding was 25.6oz, the most per day was 29 and the least per day was 22. Then she was happy. 🙄 So from now on I will just tell her the total average ounces. 😐
But she said overall Katie looked to be doing really well and to just keep doing what we were doing!
