==== Paediatrician ====

From [[Preparing for a Newborn#Conclusion|our search for a paediatrician]], you know we selected Pacific Paediatrics. There was a tiny mixup here at the hospital and we were assigned a doctor who used to be there and had now moved elsewhere. She wasn't available so her partner came by. We got a bit of a short consultation with him before he realized the mixup and we were sent the right one.

A few interesting things that he said were:

* Use the rooting reflex<ref name=rooting-reflex-1/> to feed the baby
* Hold the baby as much as possible
* In the absence of the pacifier, the tip of your pinky will trigger sucking and soothe the baby

The rooting reflex thing was unusual because I thought that was an involuntary thing that occurs always. But it does seem like it is primarily a hunger thing<ref name=rooting-reflex-2/>.
