Take a few moments to write down your concerns and questions before the visit.
Please have the names and doses of any medications or creams you are using available as well as baby's birth and most recent weights.
Make sure to have your baby with you. It is ideal if they are a bit hungry so feeding can be observed. If you are using a nipple shield or other feeding aid please have that available too.
