Confused and Frustrated

[mckennasmomma]

So I really debated long and hard over vaccines, and my DH and I decided to be selective but do some. We based most of our info on Sears' Vaccine Book. DD had DTaP at 2 months for her first vax, and it went darn well. Yesterday I took her in for Hib and PC. The night before I started stressing, asking myself why I was vaxing at all, what are the long-term, unseen consequences, etc. But went forward with it anyway. These two shots were really painful for her, she cried a lot from the pain (I put her back on my breast asap), and so did I.

Then last night she got really super fussy. Cried a ton. Inconsolable. Wouldn't nurse. She has NEVER been like that (she is 3 months old now). I was super stressed, crying too. Finally I got her calm, nursing, and asleep. Today she seems fine, smiley as ever. But I am NOT. I'm depressed and sad.

Is there any problem with stopping vaxing now?

I could really use some support and advice.

You can stop vaxing at anytime. I stopped with my first at 12mo and my second is 100% vax free.

Read my siggy.

No problem with stopping at all.

If I were to selectively vax, I would also delay until 2yo and would NOT start any at 2mo. Hope your LO returns to normal!

The fact is the less you inject your child with foreign substances that do not belong in her body, the better off she will be.

I think your child had a severe reaction.

Google: Encepholapathic cry + DTaP Vaccine

There is also a book written about that vaccine and the consequences. It is called A Shot In The Dark by H. Coulter

Please do more research before ever vaccinating again and only vaccinate if you feel your child can't live without it and will be HEALTHIER with the vaccine.

My first grandchild got vaccines up to age 15 mo. at which time he showed signs of autism. His mom started researching and stopped vaccinating cold turkey.

My next two grandchildren (dd 2) and one on the way (dil) are and will be completely vaccine free and super healthy.

I am sorry your LO had a reaction. It must have been very scary for you! I hope she feels better soon. You can stop vaxing at any time. In fact i would reccomemnd you stop until you do more research. Basing your decision on info out of 1 book is IMO not enough info. There is TONS of it out there and it takes a long time to sort through it all. I have been researching this topic heavily for 3 years and learn more new stuff everyday. My son is 7 months old and vax free and will stay that way. In my 3+ years of research I have not seen any convincing evidence to support that a child NEEDS these vaccines. I wouod stop vaxing until you can do more research. Don't do anything until you feel 100% comfortable with your decision. You can always vax later, but can never take one back. What you experienced the night before the most recent vaxes was your mommy intuition trying to tell you something. Listen to it! It's there for a reason. Here are some resources to check out in your research journey if you haven't already.
