Pam, do you get your kids vaccinated?
I only ask because, I've not taken our baby (he's almost 7 months) to the Dr. since he was about 1 month old. I took him for regular check ups the first month because he was jaundice. Once he was over that, and I knew he was OK, I saw no reason for going back.
My kids have all been vaccinated, except for the baby. My 2nd child didn't start his vaccinations until he was 15 months...that was my choice...that first year he never had a fever or was sick. My pediatrician reamed me for not following their set shots schedule. So I got him up on all his shots.
I was wanting to wait until the baby is 1 year before starting his shots. I was going to not do the shots, but then I thought I might go ahead. So far, the baby hasn't had any fevers, been sick, not even a cold!! Not like my others who'd got the shots at 2 months and on and were ALWAYS sick or having a cold!
