1 Month Check-Up

Hey everyone!
Emma had her 1 month doctor's visit today and everything looks great. We even got the green light to let her sleep as long as she wants at night. The doctor said that around this time babies will usually skip one of their feeds. (usually their night or first morning feed) So we need to be aware of this. She said that it also helps if they have eaten well through out the day. We are currently at 3 ounces every 3 hours. I am thinking about upping it to 4 ounces, and seeing if it helps us to go longer in between feedings.
She is also on target as far as her height and weight. She is in the 58 percentile for weight (if you had 100 one month old baby girls, Emma weighs more then 58 of them); 78% for height (we knew she was going to be tall!); and 38% for her head circumference.
Emma's pediatrician is about to have a baby, so unfortunately we will have to see a different doctor for her 2 month appointment. That appointment will also not be the funnest because she has to get several immunizations. But she is a tough girl, she will do great!
