Laura I think its very natural to worry about our children. My eldest dd Jess had her two month shots and reacted to it pretty much the same way as your dd has. I then started researching. I honestly felt nervous every time I had to go to the MCHN or GP for anything child related because the issue came up. I was made to feel like a silly misguided parent who really didnt know the facts or care about the fact that her child was not only going to contract a preventable childhood illness but also spread it amongst the community. This time around with Sammy it does seem to be more of a non issue. I know there are still more people vaccinating than not but its not met with the same huffs and puffs that it seemed to. So yes, it is a gut wrenching decision but trust in your ability as a parent to know what is best for your child. I am sorry that you are having probs with your MIL. Mine is the same but she thankfully steps aside and lets me parent the way I think is best for us...so for us we just dont talk about it. Goodluck with your decision. I can sympathise 100%.

I too was never vaccinated and have never had any problems whatsoever. I have always had perfect health and a very strong immune system.
