Having a newborn baby can be an overwhelming experience, particularly for first-time parents. Babies bring a lot of change to your life and new parents can feel like they are drowning with all of the information to know about their new baby, particularly from friends and family. Your pediatrician is your primary point of contact for any questions you have about your baby and they will answer any and all of your questions. The most important questions you should ask will be about your baby’s feeding schedule, sleep schedule, and general wellbeing. Working with your pediatrician, you can determine the best schedule for feeding, knowing what is and isn’t normal in terms of frequency and quantity of feedings, if they need any vitamin supplements and any other information to ensure they are well-nourished. Questions about sleep are also normal – how much sleep, where they should sleep, what they should wear, and what sleep position is best. In terms of your baby’s overall wellbeing, ask your doctor about vaccinations, symptoms to watch for, considerations for taking your baby out in public to keep them healthy, how to calm them, and any other questions you might have about your baby’s health. Your doctor can provide you with the information you need or guide you to online resources for the information you are looking for to ensure you have the most medically accurate information.
