Finley had her nine month check-up today and everything looks great. No shots today-Hooray! Dr. B was very happy with Finley’s overall growth and development.
Weight: 20 lbs 6 oz (75th %)
Height: 29 inches (85th %)
Head: 45.7 cm (90th)
The topic of breastfeeding came up and I was shocked to hear her say that now is a good time to start weening. I thought most pediatricians recommended bfing for the first year, which is when I planned on stopping. For some reason it rubbed me the wrong way. Finley is growing up so stinking fast as it is, I don’t like feeling rushed. Plus, I quite enjoy not having my period! So, sorry Dr. B, but I’m not gonna take your advice on this one!
Waiting patiently for her appointment.
Trying to crawl off the table.
I say stick with what YOU want! I breastfed Mikaelyn until 13 months and only stopped because I wanted to! There is NOTHING wrong with continuing and can only benefit, not hurt her! She’s precious and enjoy that special bond as long as you possibly can! :o)
