Choosing a Pediatrician

By , About.com GuideJanuary 9, 2007

Follow me on:

When choosing a pediatrician, make sure you 'like' your new doctor, and see if you agree on important parenting topics, such as breastfeeding, discipline, and not overusing antibiotics, etc.

Choosing the right pediatrician is more important than most parents think. While you can simply change doctors if you don't like the first pediatrician you see, if your newborn or older child is truly sick, the first doctor you see could be making life changing decisions about your child. Or they could miss a potentially life threatening problem.
