Rose just had her four-month pediatric appointment. She is doing so well! The nurse practitioner just raved about how well she's hitting her milestones and what a sweet, calm, wonderful baby she seems to be. The only new thing we're going to add is a probiotic (to help her digestive system if she had any lingering issues from the antibiotic she was on last week after being exposed to pertussis). Her NP said she's doing great with her sleep, and agreed that it's best to wait until 6 months to add solids (per the AAP recommendations). It was super traumatic for all us when she got her vaccines, but I'm glad she's a step closer to full immunity for a host of deadly illnesses. Yay, Rose!
Here are her stats*
Two months
weight: 12# 6.4 oz (85th %ile)
height: 23.5" (86th %ile)
head: 15.5" (66th %ile)
Four months
weight: 15# 10oz (86th %ile)
height: 26" (95th %ile)
head: 16.75% (85th %ile)
No wonder she's outgrowing her 6-month size clothes! She's a happy, healthy, tall little lady!
*note that the clinic still uses the old CDC comparison charts, not the updated WHO normative sample (more info here). I think this is crazy, but I'm admittedly a bit more of a statistics nerd than most parents.
