Your delivery hospital is willing to transfer your baby’s medical information to your pediatrician of choice. The hospital may require that you sign an authorization to transfer records before the records can be transferred. The authorization form can be obtained at the hospital or your pediatrician’s office. Most pediatricians want to see a new baby about two weeks after birth for the first checkup. Please contact your pediatrician’s office within 2-3 days after discharge  to schedule this initial two-week appointment.
