February's GI Appointment

Page had a routine GI appointment with Dr McOmber on February 11th. She did not gain a lot of weight, probably due to drinking less milk. However, she is 12.7kg and hanging on at the 41st percentile. Her height was 96.3cm, hanging on at the 91st percentile. The biggest issue is managing the constipation. Page will continue with the miralax and exlax, gradually decreasing the exlax over the next couple of months. Dr. McOmber still wants to wean Page off of the Zantac, so we will try that again in a couple of months. Dr. McOmber also suggested doing "potty time" after meals, where Page sits on the toilet and we read her a book. So far, Page is willing to sit on the potty but has been nervous about actually going. I also bought some Dora underwear and she loves them! One Saturday morning, Page wanted to wear the underwear. She had an accident but asked for another pair of underwear. She was able to stop herself before wetting herself but was fearful to using the potty. We continue to encourage potty time and will be trying some positive reinforcement this next month. Slowly but surely :) We will see Dr. McOmber again in May for a routine follow up. All in all, Page is doing great!!
