8 Weeks Old 9lbs 6oz, 22" long

Cortland got his 1st round of shots Wednesday. He was not nearly as traumatized as his mommy was. Good thing his daddy was there to help because I retreated to a chair in the far corner of the exam room. I can give a hundred shots to myself, but apparently can't stand to see someone prick my baby.

Dr. Hanson (Dr. Chris Hanson, isn't that too funny?) said that his rash is baby acne. Yay! He also said that an allergic reaction won't manifest as a rash in a baby this young because the immune system is not well enough established. He advised I start feeding from one side and not both in response to a possible lactose sensitivity. (Tasha, call me when you get a chance. I need to talk to you about this.)

He did say he was concerned about Cortland's pain along with back arching after he eats. He said he wanted to watch for reflux.

What a clinical little post. I'm too tired for much more than just the facts today.

quoting--"He advised I start feeding from one side and not both in response to a possible lactose sensitivity"--end quote-----help me out here------what does that have to do with lactose sensitivity?--go to http://www.kellymom.com/ or lamaze.com or ask Dr. Sears.com----check this out, as milk production will decrease unless you pump also-------just concerned when BF is going soooooo well!
