6 Month Doctor Visit

The sleepyheads resting off 6 month shots

Hi All,
Still in catch up mode here! We had our 6 month "well baby check up" on September 8.
It was a relatively quick check up, with the usual dose of shots administered at the end. We added a flu vaccine for good measure.
All in all, the kiddos checked out fine, with no issues to speak of.
The doctor asked about how Drew and Bree are sleeping. They sleep 10 - 11 hours typically at night, which I thought was pretty respectable. The doctor recommended we get them to bed earlier and attempt to get 12 solid hours of sleep in every night, as they really need the rest to aid in future development. She suggested working towards a 7 pm to 7 am sleep schedule. We are working on it, but it's been a bit of a struggle to consistently get them down around 7 pm. They are used to staying up much later than that.

Here are stats from our 6 Month well baby visit.
