Pediatrician?

[brewso.livejournal.com]

I apologize if this has been discussed before, but I am apparently not very adept at searching the archives.

I am 20 weeks pregnant, and my doctor recommended today that I start thinking about a pediatrician. It seems early to me, but I guess it's never too early to research. So, does anyone have a local doctor that they love? I am pretty crunchy as mamas go, and really want someone who will respect the following: delayed vaccing, exclusive breastfeeding, co-sleeping (in a bassinet or co-sleeper, not directly in the bed). I'm not big into medicine, either, (although I do respect its necessity with big illnesses) so someone who at least entertains alternative remedies and doesn't just immediately grab the prescription pen would be great.

Thanks!

I didn't delay vax (except one this year) ; I still co-sleep w/ my almost 5 yo who self-weaned at age 4, and kiddo's pediatrician is Dr Puncochar at Harvard Vanguard. We like her, and we like Dr Shoyer whom we've seen occasionally for same-day/urgent care issues. Nurses Linda and Holly are great too. The wait times can be a bit long, but I like the practice and the convenient location (literally steps from our house!) and that the pharmacy is also in the building.
