kit_kats_mom wrote: She gained half a lb and is up to 22 lbs , she's 33.5" and she has a rash on her leg (contact derm.). The dentist confirmed that she has 3 molars coming in right now but other than that, her teeth look great.
coasterqueen replied: WTG K!!!!!! She went to the dentist too! I wish our dentist would see Kylie before she's 3.
kit_kats_mom replied: Well, we took her to a pediatric dentist. She has one tooth that looked chipped (it wasnt') and I wanted to see about any nursing caries as well since she didnt' night wean until she was almost two. Plus, I checked DH's insurance and we are paying for K to be covered so I figured, heck, I'll start her early LOL
The office is cool! They have all kinds of characters painted on the walls, 4 playstations with different games set up, videos in every room etc.
MomToMany replied: Way to go K!! At least she gained some weight and her teeth are good!
coasterqueen replied: Nursing caries? I always have been told such that nursing is not an issue at all when it comes to cavities..it's those who give regular milk before bed that there's an issue?
I never worried about Kylie nursing at night...she didn't stop nursing a lot til she weaned at 24 months.
kit_kats_mom replied: Karen, I've heard so many different views on this. The fact is that I have a cavity in almost every back tooth so I figure I'd err on the side of caution. I've posted a few links too though.
