At six months old, we were worried about Baby Oats’ weight. He had grown like crazy over the first four months of his life, topping out at 21lbs at his 4 month well-baby appointment. We had him at the pediatrician for his reflux, and she noted that he seemed to be a little lighter than the last […]
