Four Month Well-Visit
Morgan had her 4-month birthday two days ago. To celebrate, yesterday we went to the doctor and got more immunization shots.
He seemed very pleased with her growth. Here are the stats…
Weight: 12 lbs, 15 oz (45th percentile)
Height: 25 1/2 in (85th percentile)
Head: 16 3/4 in (80th percentile)
We are supposed to start solids between 5 and 6 months of age. He noted that she has dry skin and gave us some suggestions as to how to treat it (use gentle soaps, moisturize after baths, etc.). Apparently he isn’t a huge fan of humidifiers, as they tend to generate molds and such. Regarding her flat spot, he did not seem to think she was in need of a helmet. Though he did stress that she really should be on her stomach whenever awake now. That will take some getting used to for everyone.
