If you know Jamie and Emily, you know that they LOVE their pediatrician…so much so that she is the newest full-time addition to the NAPS & Nurture by NAPS team. Ellen is the standard of relationships families should have with their pediatrician— yet, we understand that this is not the case for everyone.
In your child’s first year of life, they have 9 well-child visits (this means 9 doctor’s appointments not including weight checks, illness, feeding support, etc..). You should look forward to those visits because of the relationship you have with your pediatrician. This relationship is so important because it is reflective of the relationship that your child will later have with that individual.
On this episode, Jamie and Emily provide suggestions on how to look for a pediatrician, what questions to ask, how to know if your pediatrician is a good fit, and when to move on to another provider. Remember— picking your pediatrician is not an arranged marriage. We encourage you to love your pediatrician (and that may involved some shopping around)!
