Hello from MA

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
Hi! My name's Jessica, and I have a gorgeous almost-five month old daughter named Natalie. I'm proud and happy to exclusively bf (no bottles yet), co sleep all the time, babywear when I can, and I'm waiting til 6mo. for solids. I'm a "young mom"- I'm 18- but I'm a firm believer that age has so little to do with it. I guess I consider myself an AP parent- I don't believe in CIO or spanking- and I give my little girl a lot of love and hugs I'm lucky enough to be able to be a SAHM right now while my SO works- I'm engaged to Nat's daddy, the other love of my life- and I'm going to school at night.

I'm excited to join such a varied and expansive community of moms- in particular, I'm looking to find out more about vaccinating/delaying/non-vaxing ... Nat has her four month shots coming up (I delayed them last week because she had a cold) and I'm really struggling with the choice.

Hi mama! Welcome to mdc

I'm in RI We have a very active community of New England mamas here You should check out the tribe (MA, CT, RI)

As for vax, check that forum here for more info. Lots of great resources can be found and plenty of help if you have any specific ?'s.

If you are looking for a delayed vax/no vax ped...ask in the tribe and I'm sure you'll find a few near you.

HTH and hope to see you around mdc!!

Hello from another Massachusetts mama! The only thing I regret about MDC is that I didn't find it sooner!
