My practice here in the US does home visits, but only because we are discharged within 12 hours of delivery. And well, home "visit" -- singular.
She comes, does a routine check-up of mom and baby and ensures that all is going well. She'll answer BF questions, other such things, pretty basic. It's only because if you're in a hospital for 1-3 days here, they'd do it anyway, so they do the follow-up in home so the mama can enjoy being with baby rather than hauling the kit-and-kaboodle into the office. It's a relief for me, especially being due in winter.
My hospital didn't do anything like that, of course.
I have heard that it's difficult to skip vaccines in the US, depending on location/practice. I know moms around here who spent months searching until they'd find a pediatrician who'd be willing to follow a delayed vac schedule or skip them altogether. They often get a load of crap about it, too, from what I understand.
Then again, I've heard of many peds who also give crap about extended RF. Ours was fully supportive of A still being RF at 2 and however-many-months (I'm exhausted, don't ask me to count LOL) so long as our car seat supported such.
Titers done. Relief! It was chaos though, the midwife office was having technology issues and I got there, no work order, they tried faxing it and it wasn't working. It took an HOUR to get everything sorted. Thankfully my daughter was an angel during the ordeal, and the two ladies working in the lab were so patient. They were laughing because A was so intrigued by everything and gave a whole play-by-play of them taking my blood (as per usual). I'm just glad it's over with; bruises on both arms and my butt this week.
I'd get another tattoo over an injection or blood draw any day.
Enough rambling from me. Just been a crazy day! LOL.
