That's excellent advice, Tracy, thanks!
I have a friend who has pointed me in the direction of homeopathic prophylaxis 'vaccination', and I do intend to give this a go, apparently it can be really effective.
I've found chinese herbal medecine to be absolutely amazing as well - it gives results where conventional 'western' medecine isn't even able to offer treatment. I agree that each child is unique, and different modalities and approaches work for different people, including children. I'm enthusiastic about natural medicines, and have seen some things work wonders on some folk and other things work better for different people, and I am planning to simply keep my bub healthy, breastfed, away from childcare centres, and turn to chinese herbs, homeopathics, naturopathics and conventional western medecine as the need arises ...
