Four Month Check Up

Maddie is growing so fast! We took her to the doctor on Monday for her four month check up. She is now 16 pounds, 4 ounces (she's gained over a pound in the past month) and is now 25-1/4 inches (she's grown almost 2 inches as well).


She did get a shot in each leg, but only cried for about a minute. Luckily, we remembered to give her some baby Tylenol right before the shots to help dull the pain. She cried a little Monday night, but other than that, she's been great.

The doctor said that she's doing really well, that she's healthy and that we can start to wean her off of the Zantac to see if she really needs it anymore. It was originally given to her to help with the reflux burning her throat, but if it doesn't seem to bother her when she spits up, we can continue to cut back how much we give her. We're starting with taking away her night dosage. If all goes well, we will wean her off completely. If it doesn't...we start up both doses again.
