Hot Topic

I have been debating whether or not to post anything on this hot topic lately, but I think it is one that should be discussed and decided on for each family. We have been doing LOTS of research and reading on this issue, vaccinations. I will post a list of books I have read later, but came across this chart and flyer and thought it was amazing to see truly how many shots our little ones have been given at certain times...we did all the regular immunizations with Angelica and had a couple adverse reactions. With Emma, we started at birth and her two month appointment but then due to some reaction and truly starting to research in depth what we had been debating for awhile, we stopped all with her. We have decided not to ever vaccinate before 6 months of age (as long as I am breastfeeding) and possibly up to one year. Then at that point we will still be very selective in which ones we do and when we do them. We have run into some very negative responses (to be expected) but feel very confident in the research and information we are gathering. There are LOTS of reasons why we have made this decision but I won't bore you with all of them here...but will recommend reading up on the issues and each individual disease and vaccine and making the best decision for you and your little ones that you can all feel comfortable with. This decision along with all the others is what makes parenting so much fun, right??
