They understand it may not always be possible to find someone to watch your children. However, if you are having problems or have a lot to discuss with your doctor, don't bring your child. Think twice before bringing your children to the office. If a child is sick, has just gotten over chickenpox or is getting a cold, leave him or her at home. Don't expose everyone else in the waiting room.
Some women like to bring one child at a time to a visit if they have more than one child.
That makes it special for you and for them. Crying or complaining children can create a difficult situation. Ask your doctor when it's good to bring family members with you before you come in with them. Copyright by Fisher Books. Electronic rights by Medical Data Exchange.
