[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does your pediatrician say?[/quote]

We haven’t had a visit with our Peditrician yet.  We have one scheduled in a few weeks.  Our midwife is highly trained and experienced and has provided our postnatal care so far.  [/quote]

Yikes. [/quote]

Why yikes?  The midwife is not some random lady we found on the internet she works for our hospital.  My birth was considered low risk so there was no need for further medical intervention.  This is pretty common in many states.  OBGYNs are used with higher risk births. [/quote]

I had a home birth with a midwife. She was excellent at birthing and I did not regret not using an OBGYN. But midwives are experts at normal labor and delivery -- they are not pediatricians or experts on infancy, especially if you are concerned about a problem. You need to take your baby to a pediatrician. [/quote]

Agree.  Waiting several weeks/months to get your newborn seen by a pediatrician is neglectful.  Especially since you have a concern. Go in asap, not “in a few weeks.” She is already a months old! [/quote]
