I had my child health nurse appointment today and it went really well. I came out feeling so much better about this breast feeding bizzo........she told me to stop worrying about it - didn't attempt to lecture me one bit and in fact told me to ignore anyone who gives me grief and that really the only difference between the two is the immunity side of things which they get from the first few weeks which I did anyway so that's it, I'm not going to beat myself up anymore!!! In fact, she said even though she said they're supposed to sway you towards breast feeding at the end of the day it's really not that different anymore. She said the formulas these days are packed with good things....she said even she had to formula feed one of her 5 children as she went back to work when he was 6 weeks old. She said in those days they didn't express, they either did one or the other. I did notice in my purple book that the paed wrote something against the column for her head/fontanelle etc but I can't read it. He did tick it as as pass and didn't say anything but now I want to know what it says and that appointment was back in January! Idiot. Oh well, obviously nothing to worry about. The health nurse also said that she's obviously healthy and content, it helped that she smiled the whole time we were there hee hee.
So, anyway Amelia is now only in the 75th percentile for height so not sure what happened there given she was in the 90th last time lol....perhaps she's stopped like I obviously did ha ha. She's also in the 75th percentile for her weight......Sheila wasn't concerned at all, she said once they start moving around they'll even out. I don't think she looks fat anyway do you guys? Her head circ is right on the 50th so that's good - don't want her having my husbands big Polish head lol!
Oh and I've decided to go from the infant to crawler size nappies now? Amelia has wet through her nappy at night the last 2 nights in a row and it's waking her up so even though the sticky tags to do them up cross over they give better coverage I think lol.
Well, off to roast my vegies ready for my lamb shanks that have been brewing all day. My house smells divine. Hope you've all had a fab day. xx
