I breastfed Jovie during the heal pric.k test & she was more upset about being naked for the paediatrician check than anything. We have cystic fibrosis and other genetic diseases in my family so we have a need to make sure that our babies are okay. I am a carrier for CF and although we don't know if DH is or not, we know that it means our children have a chance of having it. Matilda did not, but that doesn't mean Jovie will not have CF.

Neither Matilda nor Jovie had the Hep B vaccination at birth. We chose to delay that immunisation for them. Both have had oral Vitamen K for the first two doses but neither will have the last dose...

We made our decisions according to research. And like others have said, its all about making an informed decision & you having the choice. No one is a better parent or more "caring" of their child if it is an informed decision.
