4 month appt questions

rckprincess2

Okay, what are a list of questions that I should as at Lillith's 4 month check up? So far I have the following:
When can we start food?
Can we do avocado instead of rice cereal?
Is it normal for her to still be eating every 3 hours, even at nigh?
Is 22-24oz normal for her age?
Is it normal that she choke's her self by sticking her hands down her throat? If it is normal, is there something I can do to help prevent it?
She also has a red rough patch on her left cheek that I'm concerned about.

Anyone else have any good ideas?

My son does the finger thing.. there's nothing to do about it..they do it to soothe themselves ..other than keep their hands n mouth occupied with a teething ring etc..

They good me I could start veggies at his 4 month check up and juice. He was already doing cereal.
Bentley chokes himself too but idk how to prevent it.
I'd ask what milestones you should be looking for until her 6 month appointment.

I just asked my pediatrician about veggies today and he said to treat avacado just like any other veggie. He said just to make sure to purree it really good at first.

U can mix the avocado with formula or breast milk to thin it out
