Please, vaccinate your baby. For your baby's sake, as well as every other person he/she comes into contact with. And if you're going to read information, make sure it is valid, scholarly material, not some nimwit posting a blog.

This exactly. IMO, not vaccinating your child is a form of child abuse/neglect unless you have a valid medical reason (religion does not count as a valid medical reason).
I just have to say - I am so glad that this board is pro-vax! This is pretty much the only child-rearing pet peeve I have and it drives me batty trying to discuss this matter with someone who either hasn't taken the time to educate themselves or, has attempted to take the time, but is relying on misinformation.
And I don't just take to heart what my doctor says to do all the time because sometimes they are wrong...i.e. some OB's are anti-vbac even where the ACOG guidelines are totally different.

Seriously me too! I was so excited when I saw pretty much all all the regs say they were pro-vax. Otherwise. I don't think I would have been able to take anything anyone said on this BMB seriously.
I believe scientific facts over conspiracy theories any day.
Keep in mind the folllowing: a) It's NOT a "personal choice" because your choice affects everyone else's children too, not just your own. b) There is no issue of "conflicting information." The actual science points in a very clear direction. The rest is anecdotal, non-peer-reviewed bullshit. c) This board has a search function. The topic has been discussed over and over again since the beginning (including, literally, yesterday). Have a look at all of those previous threads to see lots more thoughts on the subject.
I feel great about vaccinating my children. And if by "reading up on a lot of stuff" you mean you've been visiting sites like Natural Health News or anywhere that makes references to a shadowy "they" then you haven't really been reading up. You've been exposing yourself to needless worry & propaganda.
@yvanehtnioj That's what they want you to think! </kidding>
But yeah, for reals, all the shots. All of them. Do it. If you and your kid don't have a legit medical reason to avoid vaccines, then every time you skip them you make adorable baby penguins cry. (not to mention you needlessly endanger all the people with legit medical reasons for not getting shots, like brand new babies similar to the one you'll have soon who aren't old enough for some shots until they're a few months old, or people with AIDS or cancer or some other kind of immune-system-problem going on, or people with serious allergies to eggs and things. Be kind to all those people. Get your freaking shot, and make sure your kid gets shots too.)
I will be vaccinating my child, as I have with DD. I'm not risking my child's life because a crackpot with a personal agenda decided to put out false info.
Ive been reading up on alot of stuff and im curious as to what others may think / how you feel about vaccinating your children..?
Might as well be injecting them with RAT POISON !!!!11!! I feel sorry for all the babies being born to the mommies on this thread. And your husbands, just because. Your all being suckered by big pharma.

No, no, no! Formula is rat poison. Gah. Get it straight.

Sorrynotsorry I can't keep all of my unnatural chemicals straight. Unlike you ladies, I don't have all the time in the world to research things and post here. Too busy knitting a placenta bag out of flax and lentils for my lotus birth.
Ok, here's how I honestly feel about it: I haven't considered for a moment not vaccinating my children. We recently moved from FL to OH and when choosing a new Pediatrician, I was really pleased to find out they don't accept any patients whose parents won't follow the standard vaccine schedule.
I totally side eye anyone who chooses not to vaccinate. I think it's completely irresponsible and absurd to not vaccinate your children. Vaccinate!!!
Re: Vaccinations..how do you feel
It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I don’t know you. Stranger Danger.
