DS hasn't had any vax, he is 11 months old. We are undecided - not 100% for or against so we are just delaying them until he is at least 4 years old. I'm actually really anxious about his 12 month MCHN app next month as I know she will make a big deal about it
Which diseases have you come up against? He was hospitalised with bronchiolitis when he was 10 weeks old, however it's not a disease prevented by vax. Very contagious and common at his age and that time of year (near winter). He's also had quite a few colds, which I have also been told is common in infancy
How have you handled them? Doctors visit, Fess, wearing him in a sling...not much you can give a 10 week old.
Did you have younger siblings to concern over? If so, how did you handle this factor? N/A
He has not had any vaccine-preventable diseases, yet he has been exposed to a lot of germs. We often have visits (once a week) from my 2 and 4 year old cousins who go to day care and are almost always accompanied with a snotty nose! It's actually a bit annoying and inconsiderate that my aunty brings them over like that, but I'd feel bad saying something...
