Friend hasn't vaccinated her baby, I'm anxious about my baby spending time with her baby

[newmummy1988]

Really in a difficult situation here. When I became pregnant a girl I worked with also was pregnant at the same time. Naturally we've spent abit of time together since we both had the babies and become closer. I knew she was considering not vaccinating her baby once he was born but didn't know she actually wouldn't. I kept my opinions to myself because I didn't want a confrontation and I don't like forcing my opinion onto people. But I do not agree with her not vaccinating her baby. I didn't think her choice would affect me so much but now I keep avoiding her because I'm scared for my baby's safety. He isn't one yet so he's not fully vaccinated and even after that, I'm still nervous. What do I say or do?
We've never been the best of friends or anything and she's a nice person, I just think she's been wrongly informed and it worries me. How do you say this to someone thought he without causing offence? Or should I just be straight to the point? For some reason I feel like I'm being over the top, but we have vaccines for a reason and all this stuff on the news at the moment about outbreaks of measles is really scaring me. does anyone have any advice, I'm not sure I can carry on the friendship when I feel like my baby is unsafe

Parents who choose not to vaccinate their children for any reason other than they are medically unable to are utter idiots.

Op you are not BU in the slightest to not want to risk your child’s health.

My baby is one in a week, and hers is a month younger. It's the fact her baby has had no vaccines at all, the first ones the babies receive like the 6 in 1 that's protects against whooping cough, hepatitis B, HIB ect so it's open to catching those and spreading them

I'm sure you know that your child cannot catch tetanus or hep b from her baby as it is not a communicable disease.

That angers me that someone can be so ignorant and think they know better than hundreds of scientists research and studies, because they've looked online and now they think they know best

Scientists have never explained why a baby whose mother is not hepatitis b positive needs to be vaccinated against it. Hopefully you have the same anger for those that have been injured or cannot be vaccinated for any reason. There is a bigger picture.

Personally it angers me that some think body autonomy is not important. Very dangerous precedent.

Whilst I understand you're worried it's best you accept your friend and her baby for what they are or leave them alone as she is not going to vaccinate her baby to make you feel comfortable.
