Newborns need an appointment with a pediatrician 2-3 days after birth. Choose a pediatrician before 37 weeks and call to be sure they are taking new patients. Some parents even choose to meet the pediatrician ahead of time. When your baby is born, arrange a pediatrician within 72 hours of the birth. Here are some birth-center-friendly pediatricians, many of who are open to alternative vaccine schedules.
