A new pediatrician!

I just got back from Lucy's first visit to our new pediatrician and I am feeling great about the decision to switch practices. I had no real problem with our first practice, but I wanted a doctor who would emphasize HEALTHcare rather than SICKcare, if you know what I mean!

What prompted me to look for a different pediatrician was my desire to have a doctor with a different perspective on infant vaccination. I believe there is too much that is still unknown about infant immunizations in the time-sensitive period of their first 6 months (when their gut is immature, and they are often still exclusively breastfed). It is so nice to have a doctor that is on my side, and who doesn't look at me like I'm growing another head when we talk about these issues... instead, she is on the forefront of knowledge, and giving me new ideas!

We had a good chat about a whole range of infant care issues, from first foods and teething to sleep, screen-time, and mushrooms (for mom!)

Lucy had a great time too...except for the return car-ride (womp womp).

I am excited to have found this awesome new resource and pumped for our 6 month visit!
