Thanks girls for your baby #2 advice i might get dd a baby to play with

As for the immuisation debate! I completely agree with Celsie that you need to be informed about your choices and there is definately no right or wrong choice for your baby!

I am pro-vaccination only because i have seen what these diseases can do if your little one contracts them. There is never any guarantees with immunity given when you have your child vaccinated so please never think that they will never get the disease they are protected against as this is untrue. However it does reduce the chances of contraction and some of the diseases can kill in a matter of days.

BUt like i said i am not being argumentive and i support celsie all the way in helping other mums make informed choices as this is exactly the way it should be I just dont want the mums out there that choose to vaccinate feel that they are doing anything wrong either hugs

I agree PP. Not being argumentative either. I'm not trying to sway people for or against vaccination. For me, it's an easy decision. I won't do it. I've weighed up both sides and made an informed choice. The thing that annoys me, is that this information wasn't offered to me by my GP or the nurse giving Caeleb the vaccinations. How can anyone be expected to make an informed decision if they don't have all the facts?

I was given a sheet, listing a few possible and common mild side effects that we could expect and told to sign. Signing away any responsibility he doctor or the surgery has. Now, if death, autism, MS, blindness, swelling of the brain etc had been listed as one of those possible side effects, do you think I would have signed?

i agree with you celsie- the gp's dont tell you everything you should know - and they (in my experience) never discuss natural therapies for immunity either!, Kinda sucks that you have to know to ask to find out more.

A lot of responsibility is placed on parents to find out their own information. I think there is actualy a few websites and groups designed for informed immunisation awareness... i have seen them ,,., will have to check to see if i can find details (they have done all the research for you lol)

I've successfully copied that DVD for those of you who'd like a copy.

Also... have a read of this article for the main site if you get a chance. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/baby/q...n-vaccinations

Hiya!! Sorry, did try to jump on yesterday but my posts kept being rejected......boohoo! So house quiet as it is late, again so thought I'd take my opportunity now!

But oh lol! I was jumping on to post at how great DD was with her immunisations on thursday, how surprised I was, how fantastic the nurse was who gave her the shots and how DD's moment of frustration was with not being able to get the tape off her arm that held the cotton wool there!! So put her top on and then she was sweet and dandy........................ but maybe I won't?!?! Kidding!

I am happy to get all the information that there is - to be informed as I can, yet I am completely pro-immunisations. I would be interested to know the percentage of those major side effects from having the immunisations vs the risks of not having the immunisations. I am open minded to learning new things as I, like all mummies, want the absolute best for their bubbies. If it weren't for the fact that there are some diseases that have dramatically dropped in case numbers because of children being immunised, I might've been more sceptical myself over immunising my child regularly.

So this is how I see it atm :
Immunising:
We've been offered protection (not complete, I understand that) for our children against horrible sickness and diseases that can have a devastating impact on the family...........
Not Immunising:
Now we are being offered information that can offer protection (not complete as well) for our children that can in turn, also prevent a devastating impact on the family...............

It seems like a case of "damned if you do, damned if you don't" ...... hmmmmmmm *insert thinking head, chin scratching icon here* hehe

But certainly a thought provoking topic that's for sure!!


Oh and Celsie!! You make me laugh girl!!!!! I went the day after the toy sale begun but wasn't as organised as you so didn't come away with much as I didn't have a list - probably a darn good thing too!!!!! However............
