6 month old check up

Brandon had his 6 month check up today. He is now 6 months actual, 3 months corrected. He weighs 13 pounds and is 24 3/4 inches long. He finally made it onto the regular growth chart for his length although he is only in the 5th percentile. The pediatrician was very happy with how well he is doing. He wants me to wait until next month to start solids although he said I could play around with cereal if I want to. He said it is more important for him to be getting his calories from formula. Brandon had his first flu shot as well as a few other vaccinations today. He screamed when he got his shots but was over it shortly after.

Re: 6 month old check up

  • That is great! Ruby likes the cereal mixed with formula, but when I tried to give her bananas she looked at me like I was feeding her dirt haha... Have fun!
