Has LO been to the Dr. for anything other than well baby/shots?

kwrecks · November 2013

We brought LO to her one week and 2 week checkup, and then once at 3.5 weeks because she had a cold. She hasn't gone for her 2 month yet, but she will be going again on December 4 for her "2 month" checkup and shots.

V&G101808 · November 2013

I put Yes - Other Reason. I wanted to get his cradle cap checked out and went a 2nd time to get his poop checked out (too green for my liking). Both times he wasn't sick, but I wanted some reassurance from the ped.

BubblyDevil · November 2013

Once because he was sick with a cold, and then once to the ER because he was barely eating that day and hadn't had a wet diaper in over 6 hours.

LokiLahve · November 2013

Yes but not sick. LO got a crazy rash on the back of her neck and it spread over her head and face. It was a horrifying sight

She was only 3 weeks old.

BlondieBia21 · November 2013

SS- took her 3 times to figure out her milk protein allergy and soy allergy. I didn't know if that counted in either category. Also took her to ER when mystery object was found in her formula canister.

CaliforniaDream87 · November 2013

Yes-other. LO has a clogged tear duct.

EmR22 · November 2013

Yes LO umbilical cord was not falling off past two weeks and was starting to look infected. Plus he's had 2 ultrasounds, a VCUG, and an audiology appt.

MommyKristin88 · November 2013

I voted SS. Both of the yes options apply.

APK141 · November 2013

Yes-other reason. LO had thrush that was discovered at 1 month check up. We had to go back unplanned bc it wasn't going away with meds, needed different meds.

nnikki10 · November 2013

Dd got sick and had a fever at 2 weeks old. Of course it was 9 at night and we spent the night in the er. It was just a cold but it was scary.

MitsB707 · November 2013

Ss- DS got a cold and was sick. We also had weight checks when he was first born.

[Deleted User] · November 2013

No, LO is a healthy chunker. Knock on wood.

LJUTCMommy · November 2013

I got to choose SS for the first time. We had to go once because DD had a cold. And, we had to go again for a weight check. And we had to go again to change reflux meds. We visit the pedi a lot.

That's horrifying! What was found in ther formula canister??

Unfortunately, I still don't know. It felt like a piece of plastic. I have gotten refunded by Similac for the container, and am waiting for the bill from the ER to send to them to try and get them to pay for it as it was a direct result of something in a newly opened container of their formula. Once I get the bill, I'm sending the piece of whatever and the whole container to them for their lab to analyze it.

Revez · November 2013

I think my LO is a lemon, other than regular check ups went because she had a cold and once because she developed a rash at a week old. She's also been to the ER once because she in the MOTN.

Ashesha13 · November 2013

2 for ER follow ups one after his toxic reaction and one after the craziness after his vaccines

Ffrey1119 · November 2013

Yes, lo had a cold at six weeks before any shots so they wanted to make sure he didn't have Nything deadly

MommyBolty · November 2013

Yes- other. She's had to go in for a number of blood tests checking for stuff. No fun at all.

MommyAmes2 · November 2013

At 5 days old to check her weight. Then around 2 months because she was so congested with a nasty cough.

Texasmomma13 · November 2013

I voted yes, non-sick but in hindsight I probably should have checked special snowflake. Even though the visits have slowed down significantly, we still spend a lot of time in Drs offices.

mommabmb · November 2013

We've been for weight checks, labs, jaundice checks, rash... Nothing "sickly" though.

TeacherMom210 · November 2013

I voted SS. She's been to the pedi for 3 times regular visits, 2 times to see a neurosurgeon, and then twice more to the pedi for medical clearance. The first of those was for an MRI and the second was a clearance for surgery. Things should be slowing down in the doctor department soon.

carrotcake06 · November 2013

I said yes, other reason.

One for reflux. Both for specialist consults.

kristykay123 · November 2013

SS - yes to being sick and having weight checks. We've had 3 ER visits, countless dr visits, and 1 hospital stay and this chick is only 3 months. w.t.f.

thoughtfulmommy · November 2013

Yes - he has physio for torticollus so the ped wanted a checkup to see how it was going.

As his neck gets stronger, it drastically is improving. When I look back at his one week and two week pictures, he was always looking the one way. Now he can look straight on Zander turns his head both ways.

danadane75 · November 2013

yes, the bottom of LOs belly button wouldnt heal after the stump fell off. it just kept scabbing so they had to freeze it twice..once at 1.5 months, then again at her 2 month checkup

RoosterMemphis · November 2013

We still see an pediatric Endocrinogist every month and she's also had to have her blood drawn a bunch of times for that. After December though, those visits will stop. She's also been in for a clogged tear duct once before I realized I could just treat it with breast milk and massage. Other than that, she's awesome.

kanned0121 · November 2013

Acid reflux and ear infection.

magdalina.h · November 2013

We did weight checks every week for a month.

girlmama83 · November 2013

We had a weight check in the beginning, 2 month shots, she's been in twice for other reasons once she had a weird line shaped rash on her leg and I took her yesterday for a cough.

rissa06 · November 2013

I did special snow flake, bc sick visits like the staph infection he has or the GI appointments etc. we have also had weight checks as well.

Lorjo2022 · November 2013

Yes, we actually just got back from the pediatricians office. DS makes a "gasping for air" noise and has a little bit of a cough, so we wanted to get it checked out. Thank goodness it's nothing!
