Dr. Sears has a great book out now on vaccinations. Also, What your Doctor May Not Tell You About Vaccinations is great. Also, Raising a Vaccine Free Child and many others. THere is also a book by a Dr. Lauren Feder, Childhood Vaccinations, that you can get via her website. Dr. Jay Gordon has an excellent DVD also available on his website EVERY new parent should watch it.
Autism is not the only reason to think twice about vaccinations
Also, research the CDC website. Look at the numbers. They are coming from the same people pushing the vaccines. Read the Pink Book.
There is no harm in waiting until you KNOW you are making the right choice. Once you put a vaccine in, you can't take it out.
I am not anti vaccine at all. But I DO believe that vaccines are not a one size fits all thing. You can wait. You DON"T need them for school. Don't be bullied. and find a ped that will work with your choice and not push you. The AAP advises peds NOT to kick patients out of their practice for not vaccinating. But a lot of peds do. Find one who respects you as a parent enough to respect your decision. If they don't, RUN.
That's my advice. I wish someone had told me those things. I had a really hard time when my first child was born, getting bullied at 2 month and 4 month appts. I finally found a doctor that wouldn't do that. It's your choice and your right as a mom.
No matter what your choice, the best thing you can do for your child's immunity is to BREASTFEED as long as you possibly can, hopefully up to 2 years or more. Your child gets immunized every time you nurse. Research that, too.
Mothering.com is a great place to learn and they have a vaccinations forum. Check it out! They also have a Finding Your Tribe Forum where you can post looking for a doctor. I have a couple of great ones if you want, PM me.
