A family practice approach to the pediatric prenatal visit.
Although recommended by many authorities, prenatal pediatric visits are not regularly scheduled. Thirty to 45 minutes should be allowed for review of the family background, obstetric history and psychosocial factors. The discussion should also include hospital concerns, as well as the practical and emotional aspects of returning home with a newborn. In addition, issues such as sleeping arrangements, safety, diapers and feeding should be addressed.
