How did you do it? (Not a debate, only looking for help)

[vsop690]

This is a question for all the parents who have decided whether or whether not to vaccinate there kids. I am currently pregnant and right now do not feel that I will do it. My question is where did you start when searching for a pediatrician for your baby/s and how did you approach the situation? I currently use a midwife, and I do my annual visits with an OB, but I don't even have a primary doctor myself since my DH and I stay VERY healthy with my natural concoctions at home. We don't find ourselves ever fallign under the weather so I believe I am doing a good job. I know I will need to take my baby into a doctor just bc I guess thats what you are supposed to do, but I have no idea how to go about it based all that. Any suggestions?

I have four kids and we waited till 4 months to start and then we slowly added. We always avoid the varcella or ck pox vax and the flu vax. Oh and the new whooping cough we avoid. I mainly get the important ones based on what's active in my husbands country. All I can say is read up about each vax and make your own timeline. Don't fall prey to doctors making you feel like crap or saying your endangering your child's life.

I really didn't know a lot about vaccinations when I first had my son. I did know that I didn't like the idea of my little guy getting them at such a young age. I delayed the first 3 sets of vaccinations and then stopped all together after a lot of reading. I just kind of told my doctor how it was, they were never overly pushy or rude but did recommend I get them done. I just never did and it hasn't really ever been a huge issue for my doctor.
