Christy, it is hard and at times our resolve will be tested over this many times as they get older and go to school etc but you did the right thing 100%. You only have to look at the toll it took on Matilda to be vaxed and there is your answer right there. She could have had a totally different start to life and you know you can't risk doing that to JJ, so that's why you made the decision you did, and it was the RIGHT one for you all I imagine it would have been really confronting though for you, but another way to look at it is that children who have been vaxed for it are getting it too, so that kind of makes me feel better for NOT doing it kwim? Not that the whooping cough matter in my situation because they all had that before I decided to stop, but vaccinations as a whole kwim?
