What to Expect When You're Expecting: Your Top Questions for a Pediatrician

Being a new parent is an amazing experience.One filled with a lot of joy, some worry, and a whole lot of questions.On this episode, I'm happy to welcome one of my followers from my Instagram @pedsdoctalk. She was 33 weeks pregnant with her first child at the time of the recording and she had a list of questions in regards of what to expect as a new parent.  How do we find a Pediatrician?  How long does baby stay in the hospital? Who examines baby in the hospital? What tests are done in the hospital? What about circumcisions? How to care for the umbilical cord postpartum? What about breastfeeding tips? What about formula? Can we introduce pacifiers? What about screen-time? We also spend the last portion of the episode discussing COVID, so if you are listening to this episode AFTER the COVID-19 pandemic, you can just stop it before that portion.If you haven't already, listen to episodes 4 and 6 of the podcast which can be helpful to new parents as well.
