Ila’s One Year Well Check

Posted on by

12.8.10 Ila's Birthday (24)

Name:  Ila Jane Cochran

Age: 1 year, I week

Weight: 14 lbs 10 oz         less than 3rd percentile

Length:   25 3/4 inches       less than 3rd percentile

Head Circumference: 45.5cm     65th percentile

Last well check (6 month) comparison:

Age = +6 months, weight = +1 lb 11 oz, length = +1 1/2 inches, head = +2.5 cm

Her length and weight were so low that they were well below the line (they don’t have a specific percentile for her).  The doctor said it was normal for kids to dip and wished we were sticking around so that he could see where she was on the Chart next time. After testing her blood for iron content, he wrote her a prescription for Iron supplements.
