did you give all immunisations?

Am I alone in having decided not to let DS (7.5 months) have the first round of immunisations?
Did anyone decide to do this and then change their minds later on?

Sarahx -

I was just going to let this one go, but I can't in case someone else reads it and thinks that your information is correct.

If you are going to say stuff like this about breastfeeding past 9 months then could you please back it up with sources.

I held back immunising all of mine, but only because I thought it too much, too soon. I didn't not have them at all....just spread them out a little. It meant that the jabs were started once thay reached 6mths, than had two months break before the next. With the MMR, they were over two before they had that.

They have all now had each jab needed, except my 2yr old, who is still to need his boosters.

Hi,
I'd rather not swamp this board with info on breastfeeding as it's not fair to people who are following the vaccination debate.
I've had a look and found some info, I may start another thread later, but am still posting on here and on the thread I recently started about my miscarraige.

By the time he was four and a half ds had had all the jabs he was supposed to. Held off 2nd mmr until last minute though.

Sarahx2005, I think that what you quote is probably from very flawed data (the men in the study had many other factors affecting their health, not least poverty, smoking, etc). I'd be interested to see your links though, so I hope you do start that thread soon.

I just felt I ought to post on this thread in case there were people who read this and had your post stick in their mind since it isn't accurate info and may dissuade someone from bfeeding for any length of time. Sorry to hear about your miscarriage.

I think anyone who's breastfed for any length of time has done the very best for their baby.
The men in the study were living in the UK

Havent read this thread, just the title. No, didnt give any injections. Just not enough proof that they are valid or useful.

The men in the study could have been living on the moon

the research was flawed and discredited, please accept that

Yes, lockets, i grew up in the 60s/70s. Though we moved around a lot and i dont think i got the full "compliment" of them. Got polio for sure, but it didnt "take". Also worked in a lab and got the hep b or c, cant remember, as i was working with blood. I am sure it caused me to get my current auto immune disease. Dont plan on going to India, Africa or SEAsia with my son or anywhere where there is typhoid, polio or smallpox so dont see the need. So many other ways to get "healthy" and stay healthy without injecting. Anyway, I dont see any research on this subject that it actually "works". I have been looking and looking for a well researched trial on vaccinations, one with more than 200 - 300 kids and cant find any. (Husband is a statistician and he cant find any either)

maybe you know of some.

tell you what though, if they could find a vaccination to this persistent flu i have had since November, i might consider taking it. I am so sick of being sick. (not the current flu jab)
