Checking Out A New Doctor For Cash

Since Johnny & I aren't crazy about the clinic we're taking Cash to, we decided to take him to Dr Sims today. Dr Sims is the doctor I had picked to take Weston to but we never made it to the point of actually getting to meet him. I've heard a lot of very good things about Dr Sims, and the twins Mom babysits go to him also. We were very impressed with this doctor and think we'll switch over to him even though our insurance will require us to pay 20% of the visits.
Dr Sims did recommend NOT using the medicated ointment for Cash's diaper rash and also said to stop using the ointment with the zinc oxide as it's probably burning when it gets on that rash. He said to use Neosporin and Vaseline. I will say, Cash hasn't cried when we've put either of those on his bottom and his rash is certainly clearing up which is great!
Dr Sims did agree with Dr Neumann and the home health nurse that we need to wait until Cash has had his immunizations on April 6 before we have him around anyone - and then everyone needs to wash their hands before touching him, so don't be offended when we ask you to wash your hands! :) Only 10 days until his immunizations people! :)
Cash weighed 8 lbs 1 oz on their scale today. He's growing like a weed!!!
