Guest guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 , They do give you the pressure job at the ped's office, don't they? Just keep in mind that you can always add shots but once they're in there there is no taking them out. Read, read and read before you make such a life-changing decision. Hang out on here a while and see how you feel in a few months time. Just my two cents! Congrats on being a new mom!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Hi Congrats. I would also just add that you are the only one that has your child’s best interest at heart. You have to live with your decision, your doctor does not. So make sure that you are completely OK with your decision, as to the doctors your baby is just another baby.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 My thoughts are to stay away from allopath doctors, they are only good for true emergency situations. Find a real doctor that understands the body. Usually you won't even need a doctor for your child, under normal circumstances. And don't vax at all.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi , are you breastfeeding your baby? If you are, you don't need to worry too much. Informing yourself will help you deal with your fear. Here are 2 links for you to explain how breastmilk so wonderfully protects and strenghtens a baby ( including meningitis): http://www.lalecheleague.org/FAQ/prevention.html http://www.askdrsears.com/html/2/T020500.asp Ingrid > > Hi Everyone, > I'm a new Mom to Luther who was born in July.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi again, , read the article I posted yesterday about breastmilk being nature's vaccine, it is amazing!!!

I am feeling pressured to go " with the schedule " of vaxes even though I met with the ped doctors before joining them and let them know that I wanted to delay.< Will you listen to those who have experience with the pressure, caving in, and having a child suffer? My grandson was born in April 1997. Though my sister in law had concerns about vaccines and had delayed the vaccines for her children, I didn't know the real dangers of vaccines. My daughter had just turned 18 when Tristan was born and still in High School. The Ped was very provaccine. We did ask questions and voiced our concerns but he insisted they are safe and even safer when given together. Tristan had a reaction the night of his first round of shots. High pitch cry, glazy eyes, arching body, wouldn't nurse. The doctor didn't seem surprised, and said it was " probably " the pertussis in the DPT, so he said Tristan would get the DT from then on and the IPV (dead polio virus, at that time they were still giving the live oral polio in every dose). Because he changed it a little bit we believed he knew what he was doing and trusted him. We have since found out that the DT had more mercury in it. He continued to get his shots and had similar but milder reactions, and the night of the day he got the MMR, Chicken Pox and Hep B in the same day (last round of shots) he had another severe reaction. This time the little guy that had 20 plus words, and was very engaging regressed into autism. We started looking for answers in other places than the doctor because he didn't acknowledge that there was anything wrong with him! He said that boys talk later than girls and tryed to make us seem overly worried about nothing. Tristan was 23 months old when he got those shots, which is older than the typical age of 12-15 months which is what they say is coincidence when toddlers get autism after the shots. In the next year we learned that thousands of parents had seen the same thing happened to their child. The doctors denied a connection as they do now. Let me assure you that if it were to happen to your baby they would deny that vaccines have anything to do with it. Insurance companies won't pay for the necessary therapies to help our kids acquire skills they lost, and even when they do it is minimal. Parents need to understand that when they trust the doctors they will be betrayed and even fought against if their child suffers.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi , Your story sums up so well my feeings about vaccination. My son has had the same reaction to the DPT?Polio vaccine as yours and fortunatly I found out about the dangers before he was due the MMR. He has not had any more vaccines, no MMR, nothing, just breastmilk for a long time. I wish more parents would do some research and learn to let go of their fears and listen to their own instincts instead of a doctor that is biased. I know of many kids, especially boys, that have delayed speech and the parents simply don't know why. And I can't say a word!...

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Check out this book: What your Doctor May Not Tell you About Children's Vaccinations By Cave, MD I wish I had read it when I had my son. IU followed the AAP rec's on vaccines and now regret that I wasn't smarter and that I blindly trusted the ped. It's a very balanced book I feel. Now, I'm spending all my time, energy and money trying to recover my son from Autism. Needless to say, I'm doing things very differently with my daughter.
