See pediatrician: There are too many questions I have that can not be answered in this format - usually that is a good indicator that you should make an appointment for him to be seen again by your pediatrician.Have a list of your concerns so that you remember to ask. An alternative would be to register for the prime service (account for your baby) where you can speak directly with a physician here on HealthTap.
