P.S., that's not because we're religious, but because we want the best for our kids. -

But can every baby be vaccinated for that now? -

Otherwise, contact your GP. They usually know all about it, or you can check with the pharmacy. As far as I know, they’ve been doing that for a long time, but I don’t know how old your child is, of course. -

Thanks!
My baby is 7 months old.
Saw it briefly on the news today, that's why. -

By the way, you're now telling others that a pregnant woman should be protected against measles.
Ironically, that wouldn't have been necessary if the pregnant woman hadn't been vaccinated at all. Then she probably would have had measles at a young age and would have been protected for the rest of her life + her baby would have had better protection against measles. Because that's how it works.
Besides, nothing stops you from getting a measles vaccination yourself when you start thinking about having children. Especially if you're afraid that you're not fully protected. -

Thank you, Kaatje, I'll go through it. -

@Kaatje I read the piece. Near the end I read: " In the case of the disease that is currently circulating, measles, babies have natural protection against the virus for the first six months. They get this from their mother. At 14 months they are vaccinated, and the vaccine protects them. But children between six and fourteen months can still catch the disease. And it is precisely in such young children that the risk of complications is greatest."
Now I was wondering, they get the protection from mom in the womb, but could they also get protection afterwards through breastfeeding, or is that completely separate!?
Not just a question for Kaatje, all answers are welcome!

I'm curious about that too, yes. -

I really wouldn't know the answer to that question. This is a good question for a GP or another specialist.
However, it's so that family members living in the Bible Belt with a child between 6 and 14 months received an early call to have that child vaccinated. -

Would that vaccination then be adjusted because they don't get the shot for nothing around 14 months, right?
I find it all really difficult, especially for those who are facing this choice! -

A good question for the pediatrician?!? -

Yeah, if I don't forget, I'll ask next time...
I'm curious. -

'Spam found' popped up on my screen after I tried to send a rather lengthy comment about the topic of vaccinations. I'll keep it very short now: just read up on the work of Dr. Suzanne Humphries (she has spent the last six years researching this subject, and her story is very enlightening for any responsible parent). Let's see if this little post will also be considered 'spam' :-) -

I agree with Eva. And my kids didn't have the BMR either. I got very sick from it as a child, really sick
My parents felt so guilty that they had me get the BMR. If they had known how sick I would become, they never would have let me get the BMR shot. My kids weren't vaccinated until they were 2 years old, and there was a lot of time between each shot. I personally find it scandalous how young we start giving shots to babies here in the Netherlands. As a human, you never have to deal with 2 or more illnesses at once. But a baby is supposed to fight so many illnesses at once. Illogical and super intense.
