Do you take your LOs to a pediatrician or your family practice doctor?

My family doctor takes babies starting at 6 months, but we're still taking her to the pediatrician because it's the same practice my DH went to when he was little and we really like them. I really like my family doctor, but I don't really see any reason to switch Ellie over when we're happy with her pediatrician.

We all just go to our family doctor. I love him and when I found out he took babies (one of his specialties is pediatrics) it was an easy decision to take the kiddos to him.

We (Colby and I) go to Family Practice. It's the same office I went to when I was pregnant and they have seen him since day one.

we dont have a family doctor but Ross and I got to the prenatal/well baby clinic were we see a family doctor, they will see him until age 6 and me until i switch to an OB at 27 weeks.

Doctors are pretty much impossible to find around here

Sam sees a pediatrician, but i would rather we all see the same Dr. However Kevin and i see the same Dr and we like him a lot, but he doesnt take children.
