2 Month Doctor Appointment

Addison had her 2 month doctor's appointment today and it went very well.

We have a big baby on our hands! She weighed in at 13 lbs 5 oz and 24 inches long! She was in the 95th percentile for both weight and height. So, at least she is perfectly proportioned. The doctor said she looked like she was a 4 month old, but very healthy. She had to have 3 of her 5 vaccinations (it was sad), and will get the other two in 2 weeks. She cried during the shots but fell asleep before we could get out of the doctor's office. I gave her Tylenol before the appointment so I hope that helped!

We also asked about her fussiness at night. This week she has been much... much... more fussy at night and it takes us a good 3 hours (and last night it took about 4 hours) to get her to go to sleep at night. I know she is SO tired, but she just won't go to sleep and continues to grunt, fuss and sometimes cry. I thought she might have reflux or something because she just stopped eating very much and would cry most during and right after eating. The doc told us to change her formula to Similac Alimentum and give her 1 mL of Maalox with each feeding (up to 6 times per day) and see how she does. We fed her (with some Maalox) and gave her a bath and she fell asleep pretty quick. I hope this lasts and isn't a fluke from the vaccines she had. Hopefully, she will feel better on the new formula and the Maalox will do the trick!
