Searching for pediatrician in Bellingham, WA

[makaleka87]

Hello --

I am pregnant with our first baby who is due in February. After lots of research, we have chosen not to vaccinate our newborn. We may choose a to vaccinate against a few diseases at a later date.

We have just moved to Bellingham, WA and I am looking for a pediatrician in the area that will not give us grief over our decision. I'd also like one who is not quick to prescribe, supportive of breastfeeding, and takes on a more natural approach. Are there any Bellingham moms out there who have recommendations?

Thanks!
Margaret

I would request to join the Yahoo group Whatcom Natural Family Living Group".  There was post on just this subject and most the women liked Dr. Hansen at Ferndale Family Medical.  He is supportive of non/delayed/selective vacs apparently.  Great group of women on the Yahoo group with lots of play times, clothing swaps, etc.   These folks are great too.  http://www.londonhealthcenterinc.com/ferndale.htm

Hope this helps!
