First visit to the pediatrician



NOVEMBER 6, 2006 - This is the first day at the pediatrician's office: Cornell Medical Associates (www.cornellphysicians.com/cma/). Dr. Gargi Gandhi (www.cornellphysicians.com/ggandhi/index.html) is our pediatrician and we like the fact that she's young and has a baby of her own; she's pretty good, I think.

Dr. Gandhi wanted Samantha to gain weight quickly so she suggested we contact a lactation consultant to help us out with breastfeeding personally and also asked us to ensure the baby gets about 8-10 feeds per day (every 2-3 hours round the clock). She also asked us to come back for a weight check just to make sure we were in the right direction.
