Pediatrician Questions
Sorry if this has already been asked a bunch, but I couldn't find anything recently...
Anyway, we are meeting with a new pediatrician next week and I wanted to know if there are certain questions I should ask or things to consider.

Ask about whatever issues are important to you - BFing, circ, vaccinations, as well as about how their office is run (though you might want to ask the office staff those to save time)
But what's important is how the doctor talks to you. Does he rub you the wrong way? Is she impatient and short? Is he condescending? Is she making you feel rushed? You don't have to love your doctor, but you'll be seeing them a lot in the beginning, so pick someone you like talking to and go with your gut feel on whether you'll get along with them ok.
