‘I don’t think I ever saw my kid’s Pede of record, I never met the guy after we checked out.’
I think that’s what we did for the other kids. We have 4 nurses in the family including a NICU nurse. I never saw the need for a pediatrician.
How did your other kids get vaccinated? I’m under the impression no doc other than a pediatrician will administer the shots (could be wrong though).
For that matter I seem to recall our pediatrician was present for the circumcision. You didn’t indicate the child’s gender and perhaps you won’t be having it done, but I think the larger point is that your child will benefit, especially in the event of an unforeseen situation.
