Negative experiences?

[Bianca1974]

Just wondering if anyone has had any negative experiences health wise of not having their dc's vaccinated. Have put off having ds first jabs done as he has exzema and is really snuffly and researching vaccines and reading the posts on MN have made me think twice about having them done at all. Thanks

DS1 was vaccinated until 4 months (first three lots), has recurring ear infections, food intolerences and bowel issues. He also had repeated chest infections and gastroenteritus from age 4 months to about a year - has been improving since.

DD1, not vaccinated, no health issues, has never had antibiotics or other medical treatment.

DS2, not vaccinated, has food intolerences and allergies, eczema, is snuffly (not chesty) and weak bowels but so far, nothing requiring antiobiotics whereas DC1 by this age had lots of chest infections, repeated gastroenteritus and recurrent ear infections. I believe the decision not to vaccinate has prevented a susecptible child from being more unwell.

Have a look on this website if you want more info and you can ask questions on their yahoo group.

DS is 2.8 no vaccinations, fit as a butchers dog.

My dd was vaccinated up to 4 months. She's had weird skin issues since the first lot, mild food intolerances, and I suspect gut health issues. Her immune system doesn't seem great - she comes down with lots of little winter bugs. Connected? Who knows?

Ds received only the first lot, at eight weeks, and started with a little bit of eczema after that. Still flares up occasionally, but it's very mild. Other than that, he's in rude health - big, bright-eyed, robust boy, rarely gets sick, and when he does catch something he bats it off within a day or two. I actually think this is more thanks to all the breastmilk he knocks back
