Can I take the baby to MY dr's appt?

Is that cool, or do they, like, frown on it for some reason? Just a regular checkup, no lady business involved. IDK if that matters.

I've taken the baby to eleventy billion doctor's appointments. No one has ever said a word. Even had a pelvic exam - the nurse held her happily.

Ok, cool. It's a family practice, so I figured it would be NBD, but I didn't want to show up there like a jackass and have them be like, why is your baby here?

I take DS with me to the gyno and to regular dr visits. I did take him woth me to my endocrinologist 1 time but that's because they didn't even know I was pregnant so it was like a surprise and all the drs there know me and it was just a big deal. I don't take him with me to special appointments or to any dr where I know it could be a while or I am having a special procedure.

I took LO with me to my first PP appointment. The nurse held him while I was examined and that was that. Ask the clinic/doctor if it is okay. I guess some could have policies against children, but I've never witnessed any.

I do. The staff loves it and welcomes them--even if I have my toddler. And they are always willing to help if I'm otherwise occupied (i.e.--lying on the table with my vag out, lol)

I do. We have the same doctor though (no pedis in Canada unless there is an issue that is cause for a specialist).
So even if the appointment is for me he always does a mini checkup on H.

All the time. The nurses and receptionist love to play with him.

I would to a regular doctor visit. I didn't bring her to a specialist though, since I was having a procedure done though.

My hair dresser invited me to bring along baby for next time! I thought it was nice, but not sure how that'd work out since she's so active.

I brought Willa to my last gyn appt, and I see patients all the time that bring their kids with them. NBD IMO.

I've taken her to my primary care doctor, OBGYN, urologist and therapist.

If you are concerned, it doesn't hurt to call ahead and ask, but it has never been a hassle when I take the littles with me. As long as it's a regular appointment, I don't think it would be a big deal.
