Ok, we have 5 fully immunised kidlets, 3 in school... 3 at home full time.
Little Harmony is fully breastfed,and in a sling everywhere we go. We stay home Mon-Fri anyway.
We didn't have Hep B or Vit K at birth.
She will be in no care until preschool.
So me and DH decided to not vac, at least for a while. Delayed Vacs is what we are looking at.
BUT... with 3 older siblings in school, is there any vac that she should get?? Is there anything they are likely to bring home that could harm her??
The other 2 kids at home have had no illness at all, the older 3 have all had chicken pox, one of them got it twice!!
MY older DD had rotovirus at 2, but it wasn't a bad dose, the horror stories of the actual vac are scarier to me!!
I found a study that showed in Japan, vacs aren't given till the age of 2, and they have the lowest child death rate in the developed world, and a significent lower percentage of Autism. They also split the MMR and I dont *think* they combine any vacs together...
So, is there anything we should get now, or can we delay them all???
its SA based but lots of info..
my DD's pead was happy enough when we said we werent vaxing yet(no real plans too) he just said if she shows symptoms of something go straight to hospital to have her checked out.
being that your kids are in school as well as home you know what is going around..(we are just at home so have no idea whats happening in the towns children iykwim)
there are the homoepathic immunisations available if you want to vax against something inparticular.
Thanks hon!!
I had decided to not vacs, but after reading that... my god.....I dont wanna give her anything, even delayed vacs....
Up until 2001,(thats when the study ended, not they found cases of Autism..) not one child that didn't get vac, had ever developed Autism...How can they not make this public knowledge???
there are other ways to treat illnesses! we dont have to immunise against everything that makes us sick or potentially worse...
bfing is the best for helping the immune system which you already know..
we are just going with the flow but i know (in my heart) that i couldnt make my self harm dd(yes DS is fully vaxed too up until now)although he wont be having his 4yr old and he didnt have chicken pox or vit k at birth...
we can only do what we know at the time..
I keep digging and digging, (driving DH crazy!), and underdeveloped countries, who rarley vacs, have almost no Autism, asthma and excema?? And they live in squalled, dusty dirty conditions....
Also, just as the rate of these infectious diseases were going down, due to better living conditions, we started to vacs, and they started to go back up!!!! Its just mad.....
We are seriously thinking instead of delayed vacs, we'll just the pertinent ones when needed.... like chicken pox before high school if they dont get it before hand....
Personally, if you are going to partially immunise I would not get the chicken pox one but I would get the whooping cough, tetanus and german measles immunisations (because she is a girl but that can be later). JMO though
Dont want to immunise, but.....(Micheal??)
