2yr MCHN check up
We had our 2yr check up today. The MCHN wasn't our usual one (she's on holidays), but I really liked the one we saw.
Firstly, she wasn't prepared to do a proper 2yr check up, as R&A are prem & she would prefer that their 2yr check up is at corrected age. I wasn't fazed, although I can see her point.
Secondly, she commented on R's nasal issue, almost as soon as we walked in the door. She said that we should request a referral to see an ENT specialist & an audiologist. After chatting a little longer, she mentioned how cow's milk may be causing an allergy, because in some people, it creates more mucous & that may be causing our issues (Thinking back, I suppose R's issues started just after he went to cow's milk). She suggested we try A2 milk for a little while, then if there's no change, see our GP about the referrals.
I was sure there was going to be a large height & weight difference between the boys, but apparently I was wrong. R is now 10.2kgs & 85cms (I think. Can't remember 100% & blue book is in the car) & A is 13.2kgs & 86cm.
We have another appointment on 9wks to do a proper 2yr assessment, so it will be interesting to see if anything changes in the short space of time.
