That's when I started getting informed.<br /><br />My 2nd son isn't vaccinated at all. I am 95% comfortable with that decision. I'm also confident that the natural-term breastfeeding we do will help them both.Nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02146716497605729745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595600236357741760.post-47704220321052567882011-11-03T22:55:07.305-03:002011-11-03T22:55:07.305-03:00My oldest got all his vax on schedule (he's 13...My oldest got all his vax on schedule (he's 13 years old now) until he was five. That's when I began to question the safety of immunizations and started doing my research. My little guy (just turned 3) didn't get any vax until he was 2 In fact, he didn't even see a doctor until he was 2. No doctors would even see us without my consent to give him all vax! We finally found a doctor last year. He has only gotten the DTaP and Polio vacines. DTaP wasn't for the pertussis in our case, but for the tetanus. He's an adventurer who has no fear. It's only a matter of time before he gets himself hurt. And the polio was OK'd by me bacaue it's such a terrible disease and there have really been no strides toward curing it. <br /><br />I agree with you on the MMR and Varicella. Getting all of these diseases guarantees that the child will never need to worry about getting boosters in their adulthood. BUT, should they forget or not be able to afford the boosters and end up catching one of them, it can be life-threatening in an adult. (Plus, males face the possibility of sterility.) <br />Yikes! guess I'll stop now. This comment has turned into a post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335982303703120909noreply@blogger.com
