Ugh...someone help  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

Why is mothering so difficult?
My DS is 14 mo. He received his 2 mo vaccine set and then I agreed to another HIB at 9mo. After that time I was set that we would not vax. I felt confident in my decision because DS is still breastfed, eats only organic, and was cared for in my home by a Nanny (I WOHM as a CNM).

Well, we let my Nanny go and today DS starts a a Day Care Center. The DCC was very nice when I brought up the non-vaxing issue and provided me with a standard form to have signed by my physician stating - no big deal right?
Wrong.

Now I am questioning my own decision. Everyone around me is fine with my decision, but something is nagging at me.

It is primarily HIB and Prevnar I am considering...ugh....I dont know.
I dont even know what I am asking from this board. Can someone offer words of wisdom?

If your child is breastfed that drastically decreases the chance of HIB. HIB vax is linked to juvenile diabetes. Prevar is not all that effective.

My son is BF and has been in daycare since he was 3 months old...he is unvaxed.

HIB and Prevnar have serotype replacement issues. Basically other is it bacteria or is it virus's[yeah I'm running on no sleep. ] have filled in their place.
So instead of kids getting sick from Hib they are getting sick from Hia, Hic, etc.
