My husband and I are relocating to Forest Park and I would like to find a pediatrician who is a breastfeeding advocate. Need to be able to make a Saturday appointment even as a new patient.

What can I do next?

Hi S., I live in Oak Park and have also looked alot for a pediatrician. I really like ours. Drs. Locke and Uchitelle in River Forest. They are on lake right by the Jewel. ###-###-####
I don't know about Saturday hours though....
They were both supportive of me breastfeeding. I see Dr. Locke. She wasn't as strong an advocate of breastfeeding as I would have liked but I've tried others and nobody is. The only group I found was Homefirst and they are in the city and I just don't want to make the commute everytime we need to see a ped. Other than that, they are both great. Both moms and very laid back. Getting appointments has never been a problem for us. I can usually get in the day of if needed. She is a family practitioner so I use her too when needed which is really convenient.
I have a great midwife in Oak Park too if you need. West Suburban Midwives. They are so great and supportive and close by.
I am in the Oak Park Moms Meetup group if you need a moms group to join. Meetup.com
I just joined and it has been a lifesaver.
If you have any other questions please email me and let me know about the peds or the area.
good luck.

I third Drs. Locke and Uchitelle. They are fantastic. No saturdays though. But they do have a night or maybe more a week that they have late hours....
