How To Know You Chose The Right Peditrician

We had a nice weekend for the most part. Rebecca is now sleeping without her swaddle. In fact, she goes most of the day without one now. She only gets wrapped up if she has a big meltdown. Trevor and Charlotte still seem to need the swaddle for bed time.

Our big issue this (weekend and last week) was getting the kids to eat. This was caused by the visiting nurse who thinks Trevor (and to a lesser extent, the girls) isn't gaining enough weight. Well, I sent our doctor a note and Dorothy got a call today saying that she isn't worried in the least about our kids. Babies can be very good at self regulating and if they aren't hungry, we shouldn't force the issue. She said that these visiting nurses are more used to seeing the 'problem' babies like the ones born at 24 weeks and can be more alarmist with things.

As long as the kids stay active and happy, we will just stop worrying about it.
