I picked my pediatrician out of the phone book. They had a convenient location and a nice website, and a lactation consultant on staff. I thought, hey, that sounds good enough, and if I don't like them, I can always switch.

I have been sooo lucky! Our Dr. is so cool, so easygoing, so PRO-AP! We just had our 18 month appt today. DS is still nursing, doesn't say much but signs a bunch, and we're doing a selective/delayed vax schedule. Dr. Cool was totally cool about all of that. He asked if DS was still nursing a lot, I said yes, he said that was so wonderful. He has made several very pro-AP comments and said he wished more people were doing what I was doing. I actually LIKE taking DS to see his pediatrician!

Just wanted to share.

That's awesome. He sure sounds a lot like my kids' doc. He's actually a Family Practitioner, and is an Osteopath. He has a great approach to their healthcare, and is soooo supportive of extended bf and doesn't bat an eye when I choose to delay a vax. He actually helps me come up with a timetable to do them in, even if its not the normal schedule. It's so refreshing, after seeing so many people upset with their doc. good for you for finding such a good fit!
