well check stats...

jaelyn had her 6 month well check yesterday. she is weighing 14 lbs 7 oz (25th%) and 26 inches (50th%). there was no heart murmur heard again! praise the lord!!! dr. lassiter said she is doing wonderful!!! we talked primarily about two things: her crazy diaper rash and her seperation anxiety at night.

jaelyn had been having a reaction to something which made her red, raw, chapped and peeling around the edges of her diaper. nothing seemed to help it would come and go and get worse and get better and worse again. using aquaphor didn't seem to help, just made it worse. so we tend to think it is the diapers, although she has been wearing the same kind, pampers swaddlers since the day she was born. for some reason she has been having a reaction. dr. lassiter suggested trying a new pack of swaddlers. i realized that this reaction had been going on between to different boxes of diapers. so it didn't seem it would be one pack over another. i really didn't want to try another brand. so i have begun researching cloth diapers.


jaelyn has been having seperation anxiety and not sleeping well at all. so dr. lassiter told me we should try letting her cry it out. i just hate hearing her cry. but i know that it will help her in the long run. she is a good sleeper and we need to return to that good sleeping!
