Gavin had his 2 month check up today. He charmed the doctor with his coos and smiles. He was impressed with his tolerance, attentiveness, and sleeping habits. The pediatrician also commented several times about how Gavin was very happy.
Current statistics:
15lbs 7.5oz (95th percentile)
24.25 inches (95th percentile)
40 cm head circumference
In regards to his dry skin, the pediatrician explained that it is too early to determine if he has eczema. He predicts that he will have sensitive skin and suggested putting Aquaphor or a similar product on the dry areas. He also recommended putting it on his dry scalp.
We're still working on Gavin drinking from a bottle. We think his poor latch is causing him to get painful gas after drinking. We talked to the pediatrician and I also called the lactation consultant at the hospital. Overall, the recommendations are continue to give him bottles and use trial and error to find the best kind of bottle/nipple for him.
Gavin received four vaccinations today, 3 shots and 1 oral. Luckily, we had the nurse that gives the vaccinations quickly and he calmed down with snuggles and a brief nursing session.
