We also noticed that ours was off for a few days after a shot.

Hey, I'm 27 and mom to two precious little girls, Yara and Mila. I'll tell you that I waited with the first vaccinations at the baby clinic until both my girls turned 1 year old. I even made sure they didn't get the combined shot, but had them split up—so one shot per visit and at least 4 weeks apart until the next one. That way, their body doesn't have to fight so much. -

Do you know what a lot of moms don't realize is that it's not at all necessary to get so many shots so early, because in nature a baby never, ever has to deal with so many illnesses at once. Do you get it? And the health center just wants to get it over with quickly, so they give 2 or 3 shots at once. They even call that a cocktail. -

Sorry, wrote that too fast. I mean they want to get the shots over with quickly, so they give 2 or 3 at once. They call it a cocktail. I absolutely didn't want that for my daughters. But the doctor said it takes longer and you'd have to come back more often. I said I don't care. Better that than 3 illnesses my baby has to fight at the same time. And honestly, all the other mothers complained that their kids had earaches, were lethargic, ate poorly, cried all the time, or got terrible rashes, while my kids had never been sick or had earaches or any of that stuff. Very relaxed. We skipped the shots and BMR at 1 year. Too intense a shot. Don't forget the side effects can cause autism, allergies, or ADHD later in life if they get all those injections at 3 months and so many at once. -

it's just so you know, i'd like to give all mothers this advice. i did it with both my daughters and it was lovely and relaxing, both for their little bodies and for me. so, a baby at 3 months old, still so small, and already so many spit-ups, so much fighting for such a tiny body. and don't forget, a baby is mostly at home and hardly comes into contact with life-threatening diseases. believe me, they still have a good immune system; they still have good substances from the womb. he's only 3 months old in the world. please, mothers, think about this. also think for yourself about those injections into that little body. please don't accept everything. -

and about some of the shots, they themselves know very little about the consequences of the side effects of so many shots at once, what the consequences are later on, so much crap, strong stuff, just injecting into such a tiny human being who has just been born. -

wait until they're 1 year old -

It's everyone's own choice, but I have very good experiences with waiting until 1 year and 1 shot per appointment with at least 4 weeks in between. -

Oh yeah, what I forgot to mention: I went to every appointment to have my girls weighed and measured, but I skipped the shots until they were 1 year old. -

I didn't know that either. It says here for 2, 3, 4 months, then again for 11 and 14 months, and just go ahead despite having slept through the night well, but I really find it sad. He was sleepy and sluggish yesterday and had a slight fever. I think next time he'll go in crying. What clever little kids they are! -

I had agreed with the nurse at the child health clinic that I would only have Yara, my little girl, vaccinated at 1 year old, so after her first birthday. She came by and told me that I would need to come to the clinic when Yara was 2 months old and that she would get her first injection. I immediately said no, madam, I want to wait until after her first birthday, so she gets her first shot at 1 year old, but I will still come for the measurements and weighing of my baby. "Okay," she said, "that's your decision, your baby, but may I ask why you want to do it that way?" I told her that this was advice from my mother and aunt. Both of my aunt's children were very sick, especially after the triple vaccine (BMR), and my mother told me that I was a calm baby until after the cocktail shot, so those three at once. We cried, cried terribly. It was just scary. I became a crying baby, suddenly got a rash, eczema, stopped eating. Then my mother heard from the child health clinic, "Yes, probably your child didn't react well to the shots all at once. That happens with very few children," they brushed it off, and my mother was really worried about it. Then she decided to do it differently with my sister. That's how I'm doing it with my children now, and nothing happened. So, I mean, when Yara turned 1 year old, I came to the first vaccination appointment, and that woman said, "Shall we just give 2 at once in her leg?" I said no, I want 1 shot per appointment and at least 4 weeks in between. But the lady said, "Then we'll be busy for much longer, spending more time, and you'll have to come back more often." I said, "No problem, I have time for my child." -

I hope I reach all the mothers with this because it's so nice to know and very important. -

these are exactly the things they don't tell you at the pediatrician's office -

every little body is different and can struggle with all the illnesses they inject into them. not every body can handle this well. it'll just have to be your child who suffers from so many shots in such a short time. you can't assume that every little body can handle this well and fight it off, but they don't tell you that there. -

Oh yeah, by the way, I haven't told you yet that we're skipping only the BMR shot. -

I've often thought it's a shame that not everyone knows this, because your baby gets so many shots in such a short time in such a tiny body, and has to endure things that could have been prevented if every mother knew that you can delay until 1 year old and that it's possible to spread the shots out instead of giving them all at once. Don't forget, it's your child, you, and only you decide about this. -
