    Neither of mine have had it (but we delayed all vax). They were both fully BF and have never been in childcare and I was careful with who they played with, handwashing, etc. None of that is a guarantee of course but for me the risk of them catching it was less than the risks of the vaccine.

    I can't remember re DD1, but DD2 had it because I believe the benefits outweigh the (small) risks. From memory she was a little unsettled with the second but not the first dose.

    we did, mainly bc we felt that the risks of getting it were higher than the risks of the vaccine. we also have nieces & nephews at school & child care and we felt we couldn't guarantee their hand washing. we have done 2 doses so far (2 & 4 month) and will do 6 months in January. my son is fully BF & didn't have any reactions to both doses.
