Vaccination Visit

Hans went to see Gr G today to get two vaccinations:

• Hep B (3rd dose)
• Flu shot (2nd dose)

She said he's all clear for starting on cow's milk at 9 months.  She's pretty much old school in many of her practices, which I have grown to appreciate.  She acknowledged the young(er) age at which many in my generation started on cow's milk (6 months) and thought by the 9 month mark cow's milk rather than formula (or breast milk) was fine.  I don't plan to wean him earlier than a year, but won't fret about his losing interest over nursing because the boy definitely prefers real food. 

We did a quick weigh in, with clothes, just to get a ball park idea of where he was:  18 lbs 14 oz, about 40th percentile.

And in keeping with her old school ways, she said the 9 month well visit is not really necessary unless there are concerns.  She thought his weight was solid and his milestones are right on target so we're going to hold off on visiting again until he's a year.
