Choosing a pediatrician is one of the first major decisions you’ll make as a parent, and it can come with a lot of questions. In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Lincoln sits down with board-certified pediatrician and founder of Peds Doc Talk, Dr. Mona Amin, to talk about what parents should know before their baby arrives. From navigating vaccine conversations and newborn medications to making feeding decisions and finding a pediatrician you trust, this conversation offers practical guidance and reassurance for the early days of parenting. 

We Talk About… 

• How to choose a pediatrician and why prenatal “meet and greet” visits can help you find the right fit 
• Why vaccine hesitancy is increasing and how parents can find reliable, evidence-based information 
• The purpose of the newborn Hepatitis B vaccine, Vitamin K, and antibiotic eye ointment 
• Breastfeeding, formula feeding, and making informed feeding decisions without guilt 
• How misinformation spreads online and how parents can advocate for their child’s care 
•  Dr. Mona’s personal birth story and how it shaped her perspective as both a physician and a parent
