Supplements/Strategies to lessen Vaccine issues??

[EmedAK]

Sorry if this has already been posted elsewhere - I searched but couldn't find what i was looking for.

I've decided on a delayed vax schedule and my 2 month old will get his first shot in a few weeks. I've read a little here and there about supplements that are supposed to help with the vaccine side effects and lessen chances of issues. I haven't had much luck finding more inforamtion about those supplements or a list of strategies that will help lessen the chance that my DS will have side effects and, god forbid, serious problems.  What can I do to help lessen the chance that he will have serious side effects from the vaccines?

I've heard about the following:

lessen stressors before and after vax

breastfeed as much as possible

nutrient rich diet

vitamin C?

foods/supplements that will bind to the aluminum/mercury and help with excretion

no tylenol

anyone that has information about these strategies or others that go along with this topic - please respond with what info you have.

As far as supplements and foods - since i breastfeed him, will extra vitamin C transfer to him through my milk? What about other strategies - extra nutrient rich diet etc?

Thanks

Erin
