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!

We go to Dr. James of Children's Garden Pediatrics (it's just her, though, not a big practice). She's down to earth, fun, and listens well. I didn't delay vaccines of co sleep, but i did extended breastfeed and am also leary of medicine, and she was great. She's located near Fresh Pond in the Sancta Maria Facility... her number is 617 441 9276

Thanks everyone. I did join the Somerville Moms Yahoo group. I'm also going to look into Davis Square Family Practice, as I've read lots of good reviews of them in the past, and I presently dislike my own doctor. Keep any other recommendations coming!
