I would assume most moms here are coming up on the 2 month mark sometime in February and that means shot time in the US. In Japan the shot schedule is a bit different but none the less needed/required.
As a FTM I'm not that enlightened about vaccinations. Yes I've read articles and seen the hype about them but to know which are best and which aren't needed as a baby and which can wait it's a daunting and overwhelming thing. This is a serious decision that really affects your little one and you want the best but should have all the info before making that decision blindly on 'because the doctor says so'...or so I feel.
So....
Any moms out there have any opinions or thoughts on this matter?
Re: Vaccinations
Edit: Here's a great video about vaccination in case anyone is on the fence.

Here is an interesting article I just found that details how many diseases your infant will be protected from on a normal vaccination schedule vs a delayed schedule. https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2009/08/delayed-vaccine-schedule-dangerous.html
After that measles outbreak at Disney I think the terrifying reality of not vaccinating our children should be clear. One of the immunizations that is delayed on the delayed schedule is the measles vaccination. So yea, I will be following my doctor's schedule and getting my baby all the vaccinations as soon as possible.
What specifically are you worried is going to happen?
I don't think there is anything wrong with a little discussion
@CandEChicago I have actually been following the board and reading almost every post for several months. I just recently started posting because the group has gotten a lot more supportive since the "new" guidelines were set. Before I never posted because it seemed every post was taken over by people being rude about the post.
You act as if you don't believe I have been reading post. Isn't it possible for someone to see something done (QFP) and not understand why it is done so you finally ask. This is kind of a prime example. I asked a simple question. But instead of getting a straight answer I got treated like I am stupid and can't read.
"Snarky" no, the responses were just rude. I stuck around because I don't have a lot a drama in my life, but this group was full of it. How many times did someone in the group decide an OP's question shouldn't have been asked (for various reasons) and tell the OP that what they thought was a good question wasn't so it wasn't going to be answered?
Sorry, but I found this board anything but supportive before. Sure, not as many people post now, but the post that are made get answered in a helpful manner.
Therefore, you are not giving yourself enough credit....your responses are the ones that have the drama in them and are phrased to try to rile us up.
Which is why I am ending this conversation now.

I think you like the drama which is why you read a board for months even though you wouldn't "care to talk to IRL".
Right now this is the equivalent of walking up to a group of people...saying I really wouldn't want to normally hang out with you and I don't really like this conversation...so lets talk about the Bachelor or I am leaving & telling people you are mean and dramatic.
