5/22/2018 1 Comment Selecting a Doctor for your Newborn![]() One of your very first parenting tasks might be selecting a doctor for your unborn child. I suggest you interview at least 2, and choose the one that you feel most comfortable with. Below is a list of interview questions to ask. What are your hours? What happens if my baby is sick after hours/weekend? Is there a 24-hour nurse's line? Are you open on weekends? Do you offer same-day sick appointments? Do you have hospital privileges? If so, which hospitals? What are your views on antibiotic use? Vaccinations? Breastfeeding beyond 1 year? Co-sleeping? Do you have a lactation consultant on staff? Questions to ask yourself: Are there separate waiting rooms for sick and well children? How did the staff treat you? Were they receptive to doing an interview? Did the doctor roll his/her eyes at any of your interview questions? Were you rushed?
