Preparing questions in advance can help parents have more meaningful discussions with physicians regarding their infant’s conditions. Parents and other caregivers may wish to ask their baby’s pediatrician the following questions regarding infancy development:

1. My newborn rarely feeds and often falls asleep while I am feeding him/her. Is this a sign of an illness?
   
   
2. I’m not producing enough milk to continue nursing my newborn. Will switching to formula cause any digestive problems?
   
   
3. My infant always vomits after feedings. Is this a sign of disease?
   
   
4. My newborn often seems cross-eyed. Is this normal?
   
   
5. My 3-month-old makes no attempt to lift the head when lying face down. Is something wrong?
   
   
6. My 9-month-old has not started crawling yet. Is this normal?
   
   
7. What milestones should I watch for and at what ages?
   
   
8. How long should I wait after noticing a developmental delay before calling?
   
   
9. Will my second child develop at the same rate as my first?
   
   
10. I have twins. Should they reach milestones at the same time?
