If you have any concerns about your baby’s health, call your baby’s doctor, family doctor or health clinic. Never be shy about calling the doctor’s office. Often talking to your baby’s doctor or nurse will help you decide if your baby needs medical care. When you call the doctor, have written down: *  What is wrong with your baby *  Baby’s temperature *  The name and phone number of your pharmacy
