Keep a Running Tab of Questions to ask your Pediatrician
It's a good idea to keep a running list of questions for the pediatrician on your desk or refrigerator. When things come up, jot them down that way when it's to go to the doctor you will remember all those little things you wanted to ask about. A good doctor will listen to your concerns no matter how silly they might seem and answer them with honestly and considerately.
Go to the doctor prepared (diapers, bottles, etc) - it can take a while
When you're first taking your baby to the doctor it's easy to forget the basics like diapers or a bottle, but keep in mind the wait may be long and your baby may get hungry or need a diaper change. For some reason, nurses aren't that thrilled when you ask for a newborn Pamper or "a little formula to tide us over." You will also need a change of clothing for yourself as well as your baby for when they inevitably soak through a onsie and need a spare otherwise you will find yourself driving home with a cold, naked baby.
