1 Year Well Visit

SweetHurricane

When is everyone doing theirs? What questions do you have for the pedi?

Ours is Tuesday.

I plan on asking about: WCM, her egg and cinnamon reactions (blushed face), and her screaming like a crazy person after naps.

Ours is not until towards the end of the month. That is the only way I can get to see the one doctor I really want to see.

We have already transistioned to WCM.   It went well.  I want to ask about extended rear-facing carseats (to convince my DH that this is the right thing to do), nutrition, check that he is doing well developmentally, and I am really not sure what else.  I need to make a list.

Monday.  Also will ask about wcm (food and nutrition in general). Also her teeth, she only has two still.

Let me know what your pedi says. DD still only has two teeth also.

I'll start my list here:

1. how to wean from nursing********

2. still doing a nursing session between 3am and 5am

3. naps - irregular afternoon nap

4. wcm

5. proper nutrition - what to eat, how much, when

6. continue with vitamin

7. any food restrictions at this point

8. how to discipline

9. biting

10. giving juice

11. how much water 

12. any more teeth coming in now

13. correct dosage for tylenol and motrin based on current weight

ETA: 14. brushing teeth

15. check a patch of dry skin 

**I always ask a lot of questions!

Ours is in mid-feb because DH dropped the ball when he took DS @ 9 months and didn't schedule the 12 month apt right away.  We just scheduled it last week.

We're asking about rear-facing CS and nutritional info mentioned above.

The other thing is that DS screams like a banshee when pooing.  It's soft, he's not strained, no blood in stools, nothing to figure out why.

Ours is in 2 weeks. The only thing I plan on asking is about Lucian's eating... some days he just wants to eat non-stop, and he only does it for H. I'm not sure if it's some kind of odd growth-spurt or of it's somehow related to/caused by H-- H called me yesterday in a frantic tizzy because, within a 2-hour period, DS ate 2 6oz jar of baby food, an entire banana, and H's oatmeal- two packets with milk in it. DS does not do it for me, but it's becoming more common with H.

I haven't scheduled Em's yet. The appointment can't be before their actually date, so it won't be until February. Thanks for reminding me!

I don't have any questions in mind for Emily. I'm going to be a pain in the butt and ask a couple about Aiden though. Our pedi is so sweet though and never cares, luckily.

In a couple weeks.  She just finally got her first tooth yesterday!!!  My pedi at her 9 mon appointment said not to worry about teeth too much.  As long as she had 1 by her 12 month appointment, and even then, not really a big deal till 18th months to not have any or very few. 

Mostly nutritional questions.  She doesn't seem to eat as much as I think she should be eating, but she is growing and gaining weight, so just some questions about that.

yeah, this is us as well.  I feel very behind the curve on finger foods/variety of foods, etc.

I am going to ask about nutrition and the switch to WCM.  Also, I want to ask about his spit up.  He still spits up several times a day.

We did ours the day after LO's first bday. We didn't have any questions as we  consider sleep, nursing, and food to be parenting issues not medical ones since LO doesn't have any sort of diagnosis that would cause us to feel otherwise. That said, they had loads of questions for us. We had to fill out 2 pages of safety and development yes or no questions. From that, we were reminded that we should have the phone# for Poison Control on hand and we should brush LO's teeth more consistently.

Happy 1 years, January babies!

Good thing I requested a pedi that is/was a nursing mom!! Double my money's worth on that visit.
