what does everyone think about getting
baby's shot at 2, 4, 6, months. I am a new
mother and i hate to get 5 different shots
each doctor visit. Do you think its a good
idea? I would like everyone input thanks

I know that i'm going to get mines shots
done when she's born, but there are so
many different opinions on this matter at
the end of the day if you think it's best
for your baby then get them done but if
you don't then don't get them done. Sorry
that's all the advise i can give
a few shots are combined now, they try
there best, i think at 2 mths jordynne had
3 shots total since a couple were combined
then the oral one for rotavirus.

There are a lot of different opinions
around immunizations and whether to give
them or not. This is a pretty touchy
subject with some people.
I did a fair amount of researchand decided
not to give my baby his Hep B shot in the
hospital. It's one that has caused
questions as to whether it caused
problems, and we are not in an area where
we are at risk, so he'll have it in a
while. I will also wait for the MMR
(measles, mumps and rubella) until he's a
bit older and when I do have him immunized
for them I plan to ask for them to be
without mercury.
Some of the shots you shouldn't wait on.
Ask your baby's doc what they recommend.
I am lucky to have found one who agrees
with me and respects my decision to hold
off on some.
i have done a good amount of research as
well. i wish i had never done the hep b
shots at all. im pretty sure my son isnt
giong to be having unprotected sex and
doing heroin as an infant. i am also
delaying all other shots until 2 years of
age, and at that point i may only do one
or two of the immunizations.
here is where you can start doing your
research if you are interested:
