I've been looking at immunisations and I think I've made a decision regarding them, but I was interested in what other people have done/are going to do.

I have decided that I am going to delay many of the immunisations until I have stopped breastfeeding. The reason for this is that when breastfeeding the baby gets the mum's immunity through the milk. I'm also going to delay ones such as the MMR as I will be home educating my child so it will not be going to nursery or school, which means that it's risks of catching something would be greatly reduced. I also believe that many childhood illnesses are better caught as a child than as and adult once the immumity has worn off.

Those are my beliefs, I'd love to know what other people believe.

I have voted the third option. Seren has had all htre immunisations apart from MMR which she won't be having. Instead she will be having the single measles jab. I am undecided about the other 2 - whether to delay them or to not have them.

I think with the next baby I will probably do the same - though I will see how baby is doing and if I have any concerns then I will delay them too.

i dont read about them or look into them - its just extra stress!
me reading a few pages on the internet is never going to match up to all the research the proffesionals do.
i trust them so do what they recommend.
my children have every thing i just get the letter through the post then take them dont even no what they are having half the time.

I have taken both mine to have all their immunisations, i would rather see them suffer for 2 minutes having the jab than seeing them suffer for a week or so with the illness.

I am glad both mine have had their MMR as there is mumps going round in this area at the mo, and a few of the adults i have seen with it have been really poorly.

There is not enough evidence in my eyes at the mo to prove there is more going against the jab than for it.

Both mine have or will have everything. I have doneall the reading and come to my own conclusions. As it is I bring home everything going from school(I am a teacher) and the children usually catch everything anyway. I wnat tyo protect them as best as I can from disease.

kacy has and will have all of hers she did have one sepearte but the docs were fine with doing it that way for me

Ella had everything and I feel guilty that I didn't look into it more thoroughly.

I was pressurised into letting Alex have the vit k jab instead of drops whilst I was in a vunerable position and I've vowed now that he will not be having any injections before we've looked into them properly. Hence his first appointment which has come through is going to be cancelled.

I will give Kayleigh all the initial ones although i will not have the the new jab done with the older ones will have gap between.

Like my other 2 she will not be having the mmr vaccine, but will have them done separate.

I'll ask for the mercury free vaccines. If they can't offer them, then I will find them! If thimerisol vaccines are the only ones I have access to, then I will delay vaccinating them until I can get them.

I think all our vaccines are now thiomersal free now. Not sure but think they are in New Zealand. I worked with someone 3 years+ ago and they made sure lo had all jabs b4 came to uk as at the time some of our jabs contained thiomersal and they didn't in NZ.
