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!

Everyone else has mentioned Somerville Moms, but I will add my voice to the rest! I take my son to Dr. Bruce Kalow on at Broadway Pediatric and he is excellent. We co-sleep and I breastfed him until he was two, and Dr. Kalow was very accepting of this.

Note to lissie930: it isn't so much that you want a pediatrician who can advise you re breastfeeding, you really just want one who won't judge you for it :)
