Alba Ponders 'Laid-Back' Motherhood

[Guest guest]

This article gives some indication that by getting the word out on the

link between autism and vaccines, we are indeed saving some babies

from damage. If Alba is having second thoughts, we could assume that

so are many others who are not celebrities.

New mom Alba gave birth to her first child, Honor Marie

Warren, last month. Now she's carefully considering how she and

husband Cash Warren will influence their daughter.

" Kids' personalities have so much to do with the parents and their

mentality, " the 27-year-old tells Britain's Sunday Express for their S

Magazine. " If you're very paranoid and uptight and won't let your

child cross the street, they are going to take on that anxiety. If

you're a little more laid-back and make your kids responsible for

their actions, you'll probably have an easier time with them. I guess

I'll find out. "

The actress has also been studying up on children's health issues.

" I've been reading a lot about kids and infections, autism and

vaccinations, " adds Alba, who suffered from health problems as a

child. " I've come to think that perhaps I was a product of my

environment or the vaccines or something my mother took when she was

pregnant. "
