Useful Information
During pregnancy, it is useful to start to find out about the pediatrician who will follow your child. In Milan, the availability of pediatricians can vary greatly from area to area: moving in time allows you to choose with greater awareness. Why think about it first: - Avoid stress and runs after giving birth. You will already have a thousand things to do and having the pediatrician ready will reassure the whole family- You have time to inform yourself, ask other families for feedback and evaluate calmly.- You can learn about the approach of pediatricians in your area and understand who inspires your trust.- After birth, you will immediately have a point of reference for doubts and first visits. To choose the pediatrician, you will need a newborn's health card.
Practical advice:Contact your pediatrician directly, if possible, to see if his way of working makes you feel comfortable. You can also ask other families or family counselors for information. By moving in time, you are more likely to find one close to home, convenient for visits. In Milan: You can consult the updated map of pediatricians available on the ATS website and, in case of difficulty, report any critical issues. The Milan Paediatric Cultural Association promotes an approach based on listening, prevention and collaboration between families and professionals.
