When do you think is a good time to go and speak to potential pediatricians? What are some good questions to ask? TIA

Re: Pediatrician question

I'm going to start interviewing some after the holidays. My due date is April 18th but twins can come very early so I want to be prepared.

I think it's best to try to find a ped. who agrees with your philosophy. For example, how quick will you be to give anti-biotics (a lot of controversy on this lately), immunizations- grouped vs. singleton, etc.
Do you know of any other mom's in your area/neighborhood? Can you ask who they use and why?

As I'm delivering at a hospital fairly far away from my house my twins' ped most likely will not see them in the hospital. While I love the hospital I'm delivering in and can't see taking them clear across the county everytime they were sick or needed to go to the doctor .

I'll probably use the Mothers of Multiples Organization as my first reference for peds.

Re: Pediatrician question

I already have my pediatrician because my cousin works for this amazing doctor so we don't have to do this but I would think that if I did I would probably start looking around the 7th month mark.

I will be using the pediatrician that I used as a child. . He was amazing.

Babycenter.com has a list of questions to ask when you interview pediatricians. It helped a lot.
I'm terrible with links and so not computer savvy. If you do a search on babycenter.com by typing in "pediatrican interview questions", it should come up.
