2 Week Check Up

h1 October 4th, 2008

Things we learned at Maddox’s two week check-up…
(October 1)

– Length – 22 in, 95th percentile
   Weight – 9 lbs (4085 gr), 75th percentile

– He needs 10 minutes or so of direct sun exposure daily.

– He is a healthy eater and the Doc agrees he has a vicious suction grip (she remembers this clearly, back from when he was in the hospital and she put her finger in his mouth)

– Even though his umbilical stump fell off it is still wet deep in there which causes it to bleed a little so we need to put a drop of alcohol in it once a day for 3 days.

– We should expect a whole lot of crying for apparantly no reason from 4 wks to 6 wks (like one or more hours a day).

– He is a healthy baby and I’m doing a good job feeding him.
