Paediatrician

Hi ftm here. After giving birth hosp only got us to bring baby to polyclinic to check jaundice. Subsequently also for vaccinations. I have been seeing many parents talking about bringing baby to PD if baby unwell. Isit a mus to bring baby to pd or can go for general practitioner or go polyclinic. May i know how do i go about it? Where do i find PD? In a hosp? and the cost isit like a private rate or something? Thanks in advance.

Personally, I choose polyclinic over PD for the regular things like vaccination (it’s free at polyclinics), jaundice checks, developmental assessment (also free at polyclinic) and simple cough/colds. I only bring my kids to the PD for specific paeds-related issues or serious issues. It’s definitely not a must to see a PD. The polyclinic doctor was good enough to pick up a murmur in my baby’s heart and referred us to the cardiologist.
