When to call your Pediatrician

I write lots of blogs, and advice columns for a variety of websites, like this on and receive questions every day from moms who need advice about their babies.
 
Often, the best advice I can give is to Call your Pediatrician. Here’s a short list of when to call them:
 
• Your Baby is spitting up all the time
 
• You’re thinking of switching formulas, and need a recommendation
 
• You don’t think your baby is getting enough to eat and isn’t gaining weight.
 
There are countless other questions.  But these are ones, that are best discussed with your baby’s own health care provider.  Please do give them a call, often you can get advice from a nurse in the practice or a phone call, without having to make an appointment.
 
If you have questions about feeding, please use our Ask the RN section. We’re also happy to help.
