Two out of Ten
The baby had his one year check up this week. One Year! Can you believe it?
We have yet to give him any vaccinations and we were leaning towards no vaccinations at all.
I did ask his doctor for her honest opinion on any that we should really research and take a close look at. Any that she felt were important for him to have.
Of the ten that the CDC recommends we give our babies - she told me to take a close look at two of them. She told me to go ahead and research the side effects (can be found on the CDC website) and what can happen if you get the actual illness.

Two out of ten were "honestly" recommended to us by our main stream pediatrician.
Never mind what our holistic chiropractor has to say about any of them.
I really think we all need to start looking at what we're putting into our kids bodies and why.
We will honestly look into the two that were recommended and make our decision from there.

"Accidentally" found your blog while searching for info. on gluten free dining at Disney, but stayed because of the vax info. I am so sorry about what happened to your son, but agree with a lot of the info you provide here. And also find it thoughtful and well researched which is nice.
We chose not to vax except for the tetanus vax as my daughter's ped. at the time was concerned about her being at my mom's ranch around the barn and horse stables. Have never been 100% convinced about the vax but we did complete that series.
If I might be so bold as to ask, which 2 did your ped. actually suggest you take a look at?
Our Chiro is pretty anti-vax too and my daughter actually doesn't see a ped. anymore, but I have always wondered in the back of my mind if I should go ahead with the polio.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your story here.
