Has anyone decided to break up the vaccines? People keep telling me I should do this and I just wondered other peoples experience?

Re: Vaccines
You're the momma. Do what YOU feel is right for your baby.
I have heard nursing during the vaccination can help them handle all those vaccines at once.
@dotgirl2 the biggest reason people have shared with me about breaking up the shots is that all those shots at the same time are too much on LOs immune system which could cause: asthma, diabetes, autism, autoimmune disorder ect i couldn't find credible research to back it up but anyone who has shared their anti vax stance with me has made this argument
This is exactly what we thought. AJ got 2 shots and an oral vaccine yesterday. If we broke them up he still would have gotten 2 shots yesterday and an additional 2 next month.
one concern is that what is a "safe" amount of injected aluminum has NEVER been studied. https://www.askdrsears.com/topics/health-concerns/vaccines/vaccine-faqs

? That doesn't really make sense? If a baby is going to have a reaction, it will have it whether all the vaccines are at the same time or delayed, so wouldn't you rather have them separated so you know WHICH vaccine caused the reaction? I'm just saying if you mention reactions, I don't understand how that would be an argument in favor of doing them all together?

I think she means for the minor reactions. My daughter gets a mild fever and irritable after almost every shot. That's pretty typical. Doing them all at once means I can get the ickiness over in a couple of days versus multiple instances of a couple of days. A major allergic reaction would be a different story.
Anyway, like PP say, why delay and stretch it out.
Sorry to hijack!
I'm going to ask my pedi about this. We fly to see family in November and having a LO in an international airport without his MMR scares me.
On the website AskDrSears.com, Dr. Sears offers his alternative vaccine schedule. "My main worry about [the CDC's] schedule is that there really hasn't been enough research on the various chemicals and ingredients in many vaccines to prove that they are 100 percent safe," he says. "It has also been my experience that giving five or six vaccines at a time can increase the likelihood of a severe reaction."
He also allows for a delay of YEARS for certain shots like hepatitis. In addition he has the polio shot much delayed...but we probably won't delay it as much since it seems to be re surging in the USA.
Also, he splits the MMR vax into the 3 separate shots for it that are available. Pic of schedule attached.
Someone posted an article on here last week about Tylenol AFTER the vaccines causing the problems, maybe not the vaccines themselves. Something about it blocking receptors in the brain...
LO had his shots Friday and we are not on any delay of schedule. I'm way more scared of the diseases than the vaccines. Anyway, it got me thinking and I spent a couple of hours researching it. Basically I found out three main things:
1) Tylenol replaced aspirin as the standard medication for infants in the 80's. Autism rates started soaring a short time afterwards.
2) Cuba has an almost perfect vaccination rate (99% for measles) but they do not give the infants any pain relief. They have a .00168 autism rate while the U.S. has a .5%.
3) overwhelmingly boys are diagnosed with autism over girls. Most boys are circumcised and given Tylenol as pain relief in the first days of life.
And sort of a PS- a lot of people start noticing a regression after the MMR vaccine but most babies have the strongest reaction to that one = more likely to be given high doses of Tylenol.
Could all be a coincidence but I'm in the medical field and my mom is in pharmaceuticals so I hear about stuff like this all the time and it scared me enough to decide not to give LO Tylenol after his vaccines unless absolutely necessary.
I asked the doctor about alternative ideas and he basically gave me a lecture that if LO is in pain, I should just give him Tylenol. Thanks for that!
I am mobile and it's 2am so I can't link anything but it's all info I found pretty easily. Just a thought since we've all been told vaccines are so dangerous... I'm just wondering if it's the Tylenol afterwards!
Again, I am a bit jaded with a mom in the pharma industry but recommendations change and then 20 years later, "Ooops. Sorry! We finally figured out what was causing xyz."

Being in the medical field I see patients given meds they don't need constantly and I admittedly don't trust every doctor just because I work with them so I know some can be terrible!
