Just a quick update after the appointment with the CHN:

Michael is doing really well. He does have a very mild case of excema (sp?), so I just need to put lots of sorbelene on those areas. He's also had these little white bumps (almost like pimples) on his willy pretty much since he was born...she said perhaps I should ask the GP. So, I'll get his next needles done at the docs rather than at the clinic then I can ask about them. His flat spot isn't too bad, but she's suggested I perhaps try going to a physio that specialises in that. Um...what else? He weighs 7.87kg which I was surprised at as I thought he didn't really feel that heavy - must be getting used to lugging him around! And he measures 66cm. So he's in the 95th percentile for both - she said he's well proportioned and not to worry about him being too big.

She gave me a few tips about tummy time too...said to try him over one knee while on the floor, which I just did and he was pretty good! Was even moving his legs more too.

I asked her about sterilizing bottles and she said not to bother, just wash in soapy water and let dry. So I'm going to take the plunge and not sterilise anymore! Bit scarey, but I do wonder about creating a too-sterile environment for him. He needs to be exposed to some germs to build his immunity.

Anyhoo...selfish post I know

Hope you all have a lovely evening!
