Mady's 6 month check up 16.2 lbs 26 1/2 inches

Mady had her 6 month well-baby appointment yesterday. Like usual, we had an appointment at 8:40 and waited 40 minutes to be seen. The doctor completely dismissed my concerns and questions, and I'm positive he wasn't listening to be questions about flying with Mady. When I asked him about flying on a NON pressurized plane, he looked at me like I was retarded and said "of course she can fly on a plane, just like you or me" and walked out before I could clarify. To get to the town I live in, it is either a 3 hour drive, or 20 minute flight on a tiny airplane that isn't pressurized. Anyways, he came back in (I have no idea where he went) and I asked him about some difficulties we've been having getting Mady to take her bottle so she hasn't been eating more than 20 oz a day. She only gained 1 lb in two months. He just said, she'll eat when she wants too. Wow, thanks. I'm her Mom, you're right, I have no idea when she wants to eat.

The last time I was in, the other doctor mentioned how her neck really leans to one side and that if it didn't get better in a couple weeks to bring her back in and they would probably send her to physical therapy. I wasn't too concerned about it, because I figured it would get better as her neck got stronger. We thought it was, but after looking at some pictures and looking at her from behind, we decided it hadn't changed in the last few months. So when I asked the doctor about it, he just blew me off and said it was nothing, that it was from how she was positioned in utero. Now, of course, I'm no doctor, but that was 6 months ago. With no improvement. Why would the othe doctor say she needs p. t. but this one says not to do anything? Well he hadn't even looked at her neck at this point, so I was like, can you at least look at her neck, so he did and decideds she does INDEED need some xrays. :( Poop. I would have rather had him say she was fine, but I guess we are going to hospital Wed for out patient something or another. GREAT. I had to take her to the hospital every day for 11 days after she was born and every single time it was a hassle...it was the week after the holidays, so I'm hoping they have it together a little more this time. I know I'm going on and on .... I know how lucky I am to have an otherwise healthy baby, and things are going really good!!
