Pedi Questions :)

CLAYLIOVER

I am interviewing a pediatrician today at 2 and Im writing down questions to ask. So far I have a blank page...so I need my MoMs help! GO!

1.  Breastfeeding twins - tips, does he/she support it, thoughts on supplementation

2.  Vaccine schedule if term

3.  How does he/she manage preterm infants (if different than term infants)?

4.  How soon after delivery do they want to see the babies?

5.  If preterm how do they space out the vaccine schedule?

If you plan on delaying vax, definately ask how she/he feels about doing that.  Mine will do it but, doesn't like to.

Ask about after hours (nights and weekends).   What if you needed to call in the middle of the night or take the babies to see the dr on the weekend?

These are the two biggies.

Also, how soon you can get in for a sick visit -- I would only look at offices that will get you in the same day, even if the doc has to stay late to cover sick visits.
