New Doctor - Continued

We went back to the doctor for Emilee on January 23, 2013.  We saw the new doctor and our reason was to get her ears rechecked.  Since this was our first visit with this new doctor, I wanted to talk with her and get to know her and discuss her growth "problems" that the other doctor thought we had. 

When she first came in, she looked at her ears and said everything was cleared there.  I'm still not 100% sure she even had an ear infection to begin with, or maybe it wasn't that bad.  I don't know.

So then she brought up the growth issue before we did.  I guess the prior doctor noted it in the file.  She was weighed with her clothes on since it was just a sick visit and the doctor mentioned how she had increased in weight.  Well duh, she didn't have clothes on the last time.  So then that's when I showed her my charts from WHO (instead of CDC) and explained that based on those she only went from 28% to 25%. 

She agreed that the WHO charts are more accurate than the CDC and unfortunately their office only had the CDC charts.  But overall she said, she looked at her and mentioned how she doesn't look underweight whatsoever.  That's really what I wanted to hear.  Not how she stacked up on some chart.  How does she look?  And if you look at Emilee, she does not look underweight AT ALL!

We did discuss that I think she is getting between 15-18 oz of breastmilk a day and if that's enough.  She said it's on the low side, but that it also seems like she is getting enough other table foods to make off for the nutrients and calories she is lacking in breastmilk.  So that makes me happy!!!

Overall a good doctor's appointment and I can finally say I'm really happy with our kid's pediatrician (for now).
