THE PRENATAL VISITChoosing a pediatrician before your baby is born has many advantages. This early visit will give you a chance to interview your baby’s prospective pediatrician and see if you are comfortable with his or her style of practice as well as the practice itself. After all, you’ll be establishing the beginning of a long relationship. You don’t want to find out at your first office visit, with a crying baby, that you have made a mistake. Before the baby is born, things will generally be calmer and you can focus on asking questions about preparing for your baby’s arrival and learn about what to expect during and after delivery. Knowing what to expect can do wonders to ease the mind of first time parents and make those first few days less stressful. The prenatal visit also gives the pediatrician a chance to provide you with information about breastfeeding, circumcision and safety issues so you can plan accordingly.
