Kaylee's Wic Appointment
Posted: 03-28-07 16:51pm
|

So we had .Wic today & they weighed
& measured .Kaylee.
She's 15 lbs 8.5 oz & 24 3/4 inches
long.
I asked the lady if she was doing good for
her age & she said yes then she
punched everything in to her computer
& she is in the 53rd percentile for
her weight & only the 23rd for
her height 
She told me it's nothing to worry about
but I don't know. 23rd is awfully low.

That's about how my nephew is. He's
perfectly healthy, just small for his age.
I wouldn't worry about it too much if I
were you. As long as she is eating well,
there is not a lot you can really do.

Thanks ladies.. I know it's nothing to be
worried about, I don't know why it got me
so flustered. I guess just the thought
that she could be developing slower or
something? & just the way the lady
said "23rd percentile for height".. Ugh
..As if .I'm doing something wrong.

yeah, the whole percentile thing is crap.
It puts a standard in that everyone else
"should" be in. It's like when we go to
the doctor and get weighed and then look
at the chart and find that our weight for
our height puts us in the "overweight"
class. even though we don't look or feel
it.
Your daughter is beautiful and she looks
perfectly healthy. There is nothing wrong
with being small for your age.

 .Wow, okay.. So
.I'm just going to ignore the lady the
next time she tells me that crap then
because .Aly is obviously very healthy
& I know .Kaylee is! We just have
petite little girls

My mom is pretty small but my sister &
one brother are both bigger than me. Shane
is 6'1 & 140 lbs so he's tall &
skinny. Maybe .Kaylee will just be short
like her mama

Wow I didn't realize how many peoples
babies were in the lower percentile when
obviously all the babies on here are
healthy. I can't believe they'd even go by
that. I hate going to wic.. The only thing
they're good for is the formula.. &
.Gen that's crazy they tried telling you
that you weren't doing good enough! I
would have spazzed.

yeah the lady was full of crap....my child
is perfect. so i don't give a medical
answer what they think....it was
wrong....but it turned out that i don't
qualify anyway. I buy maybe 2 cans of
formula a month anyway....my aunt and
grandma want to buy the baby stuff so
instead of toys they buy formula and
diapers everyweek....its great. and i also
just ran out of my breast milk so i may be
buying more now....but hell 3-4 cans a
month vs. 8 or 9? I am all about that.

That's great that your aunt & grandma
help out like that! It's crazy how much
formula costs. We're on .Similac
.Alimentum & it's about $25 a can
& that's just one of those small cans
So with our wic we
get 4 cans each check & it's $100 just
for 4 cans of formula..

You might want to check .sams .club for
formula. They have those huge cans. I'm
not sure what the prices are (we don't use
it) but it's worth looking into if a
family member has a membership.

hey i know it sucks...we are on neocate (
my son couldnt even tolerate the amount of
milk in alimentum) and its $32 for a
little 14 oz can that is gone in about 2
days. we go though 16 cans a month total.
wic gives me 8, and medicaid pays for 5,
and then we usually have to buy one....but
if it wasnt for wic, we wouldnt be able to
pay for neocate....and my son would
basically be forced to drink a formula he
is allergic to. i hate wic sometimes, but
i am really thankful for them.

You spend $500 on formula? Or is that what
you would spend if it wasn't for wic?
jeeeeeeeze! Trace's poor tummy must be
really sensitive!
