I am 29 weeks pregnant and I am searching for a pediatrician for my daughter. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on what type of questions I should ask when interviewing a potential pediatrician?

You could ask about their vaccination schedule if that's something that concerns you. My kids first pediatrician would give babies up to 7 vaccines at a time. It didn't go over well either when we requested that our kids not get a couple of them. Their new pediatrician never gives more than 4 at a time and gives them about a month or two later than most pediatricians do. He doesn't even give babies a few of the vaccines that our first peditrician really pushed for. He also gives the option on the MMR to do it at 2 years or 3 years. Basically, you'd probably like to have a doctor that respects your wishes no matter what they may be. Good luck.
