My daughter will be 4 months old on Sunday (she was born April 8). She has not had any vaccinations yet but I would like to get her started soon. We (as a family) want to do the Dr. Sears schedule like we did with my first daughter, but since she has not had any yet I'm not sure where to start or how to combine if I need to do that in order to ( Read more... )

First of all, I let it slip to my mom that I couldn't afford the Hypnobabies study (she and my dad like to buy us everything we can't, and I hate it) and she ordered it for me. I'm extremely thankful! It should be here around Friday. I must admit though, it still makes me feel bad that she bought it ( Read more... )

Are babies typically vaccinated at the hospital after birth? What are they vaccinated against? Pros, cons? I have noticed a few times people mention prolonging vaccination. What is ( Read more... )

Last night we went on our hospital tour. I expected it to take less than an hour, like the one we took of Good Sam before, but it turned out to be over an hour and a half. And we had to stand basically the whole time. My legs were swollen and hurting from being at work for 8 hours, so this added standing was killing me. I can't believe they gather ( Read more... )

Which is fantastic, now I just need to find a doctor in our area that supports delayed vaccinations. Don't get me wrong, I want my baby vaccinated, just not against certain things right away.
