THE TWO MONTH VISIT

The Two Month Visit

At your baby’s two month visit we will:

• Take their height, weight and head circumference (your child will be used to this by now).
• Give them the first round of three vaccines, Vaxelis (combination of DTaP, HIB, Polio, & Hep B), RotaTeq (oral) and Pneumococcal.

GUIDANCE

Development: Your infant will begin to smile spontaneously and directly at you. They will also lift their head up more when placed on their belly.

Feeding: Hopefully breastfeeding is continuing to go well—it has become even easier, and is much less of a production. This is a very good thing, because breastfeeding less often is still a few months away, so trying to space out feedings is generally not worth the effort. If you have any questions, click here…

Sleeping: By two months of age, parents may start to consider sleep-training their little one. If the family is ready, we have found that sleep-training could be effective even at this age. In about three days, your baby could be sleeping through the whole night (upwards of twelve hours!), falling asleep in the early evening and waking up with an adorable coo and a big smile at 7 AM. Yes, you read that correctly. Sleep training in three days, done. How do we do that?  Find out here.
