Q: Dr.'s Appointment

I switched pediatricians again today. This is her third one and I really like her. She sat down and talked to me unlike the other two. Ava's ears and everything else is fine. She said giving a baby a cereal bottle is okay but only if you start at an early age. At 2 months their digestive system works 24 hours a day, but at 6 months it works slowly at night. She said that it was just like us eating a big meal before bed. It gave her indigestion. She said that if I want to try it again to start slowly with it and then increase. Being that she's almost 7 months and it was her first one right before bed, her little body couldn't handle it. Poor baby girl. She's crashed out right now. I had to wake her to go to the appointment.
She said to stay away from solids until Sunday and slowly introduce them again since her belly's sensitive right now.
Bottom line: I'm an fool and I feel bad for hurting my baby.
Lessoned learned! I should have followed my instincts that told me to never give her a cereal bottle.
OH and I forgot to mention that she weighs 20 lb 8 oz and is 28 1/2 in. long.

What a great doctor to actually explain things to you.

You are no fool! We all have done things and will continue to do things that may not be the best for our baby...yet thinking at the time, it is the best. She sounds like such a healthy little girl!!
