I have been researching Dr. Sear's website and his alternative recommended vaccine schedule for infants/children. We see my baby boy's doc tomorrow for his two month appointment and I am going to let her know that we prefer to follow his schedule. He feels that it is most important not to overload a tiny baby's body with multiple immunizations because when a baby get four to six shots at once it can be too much for their little system to handle and can result in more adverse side effects or reactions. I couldn't believe that a doc would actually give four to six separate injections to a two month old! That freaked me out. Dr. Sear's recommends that babies get two vaccines a month from two months to eight months, and he suggests that vaccines for diseases and illnesses that are actually infecting children today be given first, versus other vaccines for diseases and illnesses.
Do you follow Dr. Sear's schedule for your infant/child and how has it worked out for you?

Do it and don't take no for an answer.
The stakes are very high. We saw vaccine damage happen to our son at 18 months and he will never get another vaccination.
Had we had the inf you have we could have prevented it.
My input is that you may want to bypass some of the vaccinations entirely. Some of the boosters are unnecessary because the child has enough resistance already, some don't actually work anyway and some actually INCREASE the chances your child will contract the disease.It is likely your doctor will not know any of this but I assure you it is ALL TRUE.
Please visit the links I provide and eduacate yourself and protect your baby.
Autism rate for boys is around 1/94.. the chances of him contracting measels is less than one in a million.

I will not be getting any vaccines for my children. I do not believe they are safe. But delaying vaccines is probably better than giving so many at once. Watch those combination vaccines.
There are still many vaccines that have thimerosal (doctors were not required to get rid of any stock they had, and could still have some). Vaccines are not tested for carcinogenic potential. So it is possible that they could cause cancer. Formaldehyde is in many childhood vaccines and some are made from aborted fetal cells. GROSS! I know that there are risks of not vaccinating, but there are also some scary risks associated with vaccinating. Honestly, I know that people say the risks of having a bad reaction are low, but do you want to take the chance of your child having a bad reaction. Also, I have been looking at each individual vaccine and the need. Hepatitis B is sexually transmitted, so the risk for an infant is not there. Hepatitis A, is not needed either, many times children can have it without symptoms, and then they are immune for life (that is more than a vaccine can do). Mumps are usually asymptomatic, so this vaccine is not always necessary. Diptheria can be cured with an antibiotic. Measels used to be a normal childhood disease, adn people gained lifetime immunity. Vaccinations do not give lifetime immunity. That is why people have to get booster shots... If you are torn and need more time to think about it, delay the vaccines and you can always get them later. But you will NEVER be able to take them back. I am also not trying to force my views. It is for you to decide. If you want some more reading material on the subject, e-mail me.

Also there are more links in my profile. And children do not need them for school (there are waivers in every state). So do not let that be the only reason that you do it.

I didn't with my son, but I think its a GREAT idea. I had never heard of the Dr. Sears schedule, but I also feel like 4 shots in their tiny little bodies at once is WAY too much. My son had several reactions to his shots and I will keep this in mind with my future children. Thanks!

I have my baby's vaccs spread out, and it has worked out well. He is getting more shots overall, but if he has a reaction I know what he is reacting to. He is *almost* on schedule with other babies, so it really doesn't change the timing that much.

My son has no shots and is going on 1 in a couple weeks. We are opting for Homeopathic vaccines sometime soon, but not so many at a time and spread out.
Um as far as that lady or girl said that their vaccines need to be up to date before entering a school or daycare... She needs to research that a lil more because it is so not true.

That's all well and good, but remember, if you ever have to put your baby in day care, and then school all the immunizatons must be up to date, or they can not attend. babies don't remember those shots....give Tylenol and it's over. It is so better to be safe than sorry, with so many germs in the world today.....immigration, etc.....My children never got 6 or more shots at a time....this is why you keep them up to date, so they don't have to get that many at one time, this is the fault of the parent.....please do more research on this subject....
