Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose a pediatrician for my baby?
Consider recommendations from friends or family, the pediatrician’s credentials and whether their approach fits your parenting style. Meeting or interviewing potential pediatricians can help you decide if you feel comfortable with their care and communication.
When should I set up my baby with a pediatrician?
It’s a good idea to choose a pediatrician before your baby is born so you are prepared for the first appointments and vaccinations soon after birth.
How soon should a newborn see a pediatrician?
Newborns usually have their first visit within the first week after leaving the hospital. This early appointment checks your baby’s health and gives you a chance to ask questions.
What is the difference between a pediatrician and a regular doctor?
Pediatricians have specialized training to care for children from birth through adolescence, focusing on growth, development and child-specific health needs. Family physicians or general practitioners care for patients of all ages.
Do I need to meet with a pediatrician before the baby is born?
While not required, meeting your pediatrician before birth can help you build a relationship early and discuss your preferences or questions.
How do you interview a pediatrician?
Bring questions about the pediatrician’s experience, how they handle appointments and emergencies, vaccination schedules and their thoughts on common parenting topics. This helps you determine whether their approach matches your family’s needs.
