What happens with your newborn in the hospital and at that first doctor\'s visit after you go home? No really, what happens? Because as an OB/GYN I don\\u2019t know. Once mom and baby are separate, the pediatrician takes over! Lol.

Today\\u2019s guest, Dr. Obidi, is here to fill us in on all of that. He is a board certified pediatrician and the CEO of Newborn Prep Academy, an online newborn preparation course. There is a lot of great advice in this episode for how to get the most out of your visits with your baby\\u2019s doctor. I love, love, love his \\u201cconfident moms mindset\\u201d approach and I know you will too!

In this Episode, You\\u2019ll Learn About:

  • When you should start looking for a pediatrician
  • Which tests are done in the hospital for baby and why
  • What are some of the most common postnatal tests and treatments
  • What some of the intervention options are for treating infant health concerns
