Mine regressed at 3.5 months right after his Hib shot ... fortunately after 4 weeks he began improving. If we hadnt S&D in the first place I may not have ever noticed, as normally they get the Hib at 2 months, at which time he wouldn't have yet even started to squeal or be vocal. By the time we did Hib he had already been squealing and babbling over a month. They older they are, the more you are likely to notice if something goes wrong. He not only stopped squealing and making sounds but also lost his signals for the EC we were doing and sadly never did get those back... He is over 3 yrs now and doing great. No vaccines since 7 months. We did the DTaP series (3) and the one Hib. I feel like we dodged a bullet. It was only the 2nd one he had gotten. He had the DTaP 3 weeks prior. No apparent reactions to DTaP and we finished that series. It still confuses me to this day (the Hib was "supposed" to be one of the safest) but one thing for sure, he was a different baby for a month, I did a lot of praying. Fortunately I got my baby back. I can't imagine the despair for those who do not.
Great article.
I agree with this:
"When one hears the same story twice or three times, it is permissible to attribute it to a coincidence; when one hears it 50 or a 100 times, it is less likely to be a coincidence; and when hundreds and thousands of reliable people report the same events time after time, one cannot say they are all wrong and the whole thing is nothing but a coincidence.
It is both cruel and insulting to insist that hundreds and thousands of parents do not know what they are talking about because they do not have letters behind their names. It is also unacceptable, inhuman and outrageous to maintain, for years and years, that all of them are wrong."
