First Pediatrician Visit

Hi

So we took the baby to the Pediatrician for the first appointment.
They weighed Eleanor first. They stripped her down to the pamper, but we needed to change the baby, so they weighed Eleanor commando style. Anyhow after the weigh in she pee pee’d all over the place. Hahaha

Was kind of funny.

New weight after 2 weeks. 7 lbs, 8 oz. The doctor said that some babies lose weight initially in the first 2 weeks. She seemed unimpressed by my baby tracker 2006. She told me I didn’t need to document everything to such detail unless we started to see abnormalities. Data is all we have!

But I will back off.

She asked us questions about feeding, and normal stuff.

Eleanor has received Hepatitis Vaccine , the first shot anyhow already. So we have to schedule a follow up visit.

Insurance wise, when a new baby is born she is covered under mother’s policy for the first 30 days. I have submitted paperwork for enrollment as herself, but don’t worry about the coverage.

We asked doctor questions about feeding, sterilization etc.
All in all, it was a good visit.
Sora had to do an emergency feeding because the left breast was getting a little engorged.

Also I found the pediatricians office to be quite cold, maybe because of the summer and climate control. So bring extra blankets.

PS: Sora jumped out 125 ML of breast milk. She was very proud.
