Questions at the 6 month appt

blublusher

sorry if this is a pretty stupid question, but i need some ideas.

my dd has her appt today. we are actually having it with her main pediatrician so i want to get all the questions out that i can. Any suggestions? I guess i'll be asking about solids but what else is important to ask at this milestone?

We only asked about her scratching herself.  Apparently, she does it because of her eczema.  Anyway, we really didn't have any other questions.

I asked about a preferred sunblock, nap schedule, solids - which to feed first, type/brands, bottle schedule, giving water, sleeping issues (if any).  I think that was about all.  Enjoy...I love the well visits!

I plan to ask how much formula she should be ingesting at a minimum because she's really dropped in the last couple weeks.  I'm going to ask about spices for her solids (we already started).  Oh, and I want to know when I should call for a fever b/c last time she got her shots she was at 103 for 18 hours with Tylenol, and they told me it was normal.  One more - checking the headshape.  I'm always worried about her flat spot.

Water-what is max limit per day?

Not rolling yet-any concern?

Should we avodi foods that make DH itchy?

Belly button-has it healed properly?

Getting into seated position by herself-what is timeframe?

Crawling, scooting, etc-what time frame?

Exzema-any other instructions
