We delayed Hep B, and we're not sure when we'll get that. So far, we go every month and get a few shots. We haven't gotten the third Hib/PCV round yet because LO has been sick for about a month. </p> <p>2, 4, 6 months- DTap, Rotavirus, Polio<br /> 3, 5 months- Hib, PCV </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-485420 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 09:46:32 +0000 littlek 485420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pediatrician will not accept patients if they don't follow the vaccination schedule put forth by the AAP. LO is also in daycare and it's very important he stay vaccinated. LO has had no adverse reaction to shots, he's 7 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-485404 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 09:31:34 +0000 spaniellove 485404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is far in the future as we are still TTC, but we plan to use an alternate schedule. Although I'm very much in favor of vaccinating, I want my LO to receive only one vaccination at a time because of my history of seizures and adverse reactions to vaccines, and my neurologist telling me that I most likely had febrile seizures and my LO might too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-485373 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 09:07:54 +0000 CarrieLouWho 485373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had thought about delaying, but ultimately trusted our pediatricians recommendations. My mom is a nurse and one of the consultants that I work with is married to a pediatrician. I talked to her and felt comfortable with our decision to follow the AAP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-485353 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 08:51:18 +0000 loveletter 485353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We may delay.... we're actually meeting with the pediatrician today! My husband had a really bad reaction to a vaccine when he was little and was in the hospital for a week and almost died! So he is definitely wary of vaccines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-484761 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 21:22:59 +0000 wheres_c 484761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: are you willing to share what was done in the first 6 months?</p> <p>Thanks everyone for the replies so far....seems like most people went with aap. Still interested in hearing from those that didn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-484642 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:46:19 +0000 Grace 484642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd just follow the AAP schedule, but I really don't see the problem with delaying them. What would the harm be? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-484619 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:39:57 +0000 ladyfingers 484619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are putting our LO in daycare so we are doing the standard AAP schedule and are comfortable with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-484510 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:12:46 +0000 loveisstrange 484510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We vaccinate on the AAP schedule and have had no issues. She's 9 months old, so we've had 3 rounds of shots already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-484494 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:06:42 +0000 Weagle 484494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do an alternative schedule. It is very similar to Dr. Sears, but put together by my pediatrician based on her research and recommendations. We're delaying Hep B indefinitely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-484352 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 18:57:52 +0000 autumnlove 484352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just the AAP and our pediatrician's recommendations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-484346 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 18:54:42 +0000 Bao 484346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Same here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-484337 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 18:48:41 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 484337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our ped said she supports either the AAP or a delayed schedule. She said delayed shots are nice because if there's a bad reaction it's easier to know which vaccine it was. She said the combined shots are good because LO doesn't have to go through multiple visits/shots/recovery times.<br /> After doing the first round at 2 months, I don't know if I'd have the strength to do the delayed schedule. LO was just so sad getting the shots and I don't want to make him get more than he needs.<br /> I think there are plenty of good reasons to delay, but doing the standard route has worked so far for our family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-484137 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 15:45:34 +0000 mrskc 484137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our ped recommends following the reg schedule. They charge extra to delay. We decided to just go ahead and do all the shots at once. Luckily my little guy was fine and had no adverse reaction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-484132 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 15:41:33 +0000 hilsy85 484132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We followd the AAP recommendations...our pedi recommended it and based on our research, we were comfortable with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-484066 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 14:59:52 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 484066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am doing an alternate/delayed schedule as per recommended by a naturopath. My LO still sees a regular ped but we also see a naturopath (i like options and different opinions), mostly to discuss things like vaccinations since it is a very important issue to me.</p> <p>LO is fully vaccinated against whooping cough and we wont do any other vaccines until she is 1-2 years old. Then, we will get on a more regular vaccination schedule but will be doing many one at a time, like separate M, M, and R. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-484032 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 14:27:04 +0000 Bookish 484032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only vaccine I am going to be wary of is the Tdap, and it's not because I don't want to vaccinate-- when I got it as a baby it knocked me unconscious for 30 mins, so I will be discussing when/if/how the baby should get it, in case there is a chance LO could have issues. I am very pro-vaccines, and very pro-tdap, because whooping cough seems to be having a comeback... but, that's me and my baby! Good luck, these are hard decisions :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-484014 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 14:15:43 +0000 MamaBehr 484014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking about doing the alternate vaccination schedule with my second, but the Pediatrician doesn't support it and charges a co-pay for every "extra" visit. So I just figured I would proceed with the normal route. We haven't had too much of a reaction to shots thus far and we've been through a lot (I have an almost 3 year old and a 10 month old). It's a tough decision that is one of those "doesn't have a RIGHT answer," so good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-484012 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 14:15:27 +0000 wheres_c 484012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: yeah same here (although thats only 1 shot so far)</p> <p>Our ped believes in vaccinating, but unless kid is in daycare is open to alternate schedules. Otherwise she follows the AAP reccomendation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-484008 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 14:12:53 +0000 regberadaisy 484008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always wanted to try an alternate schedule and her ped was on board. But because I haven't had time to do in depth research myself I've just been following her ped's recommendation. </p> <p>Knock on wood; she hasn't had any adverse reactions thus far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/delayed-vaccination-schedule-thoughts#post-483996 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 14:10:07 +0000 wheres_c 483996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B turned 1 month today and it got me thinking about his 2 month shots.</p> <p>Ive seen lots of discussion here about fevers and reactions after the shots. Ive also read on think twice about a link between the tdap shot and SIDS (although heavily debated).</p> <p>How many have chosen to delay vaccinations? Which schedule are you following?</p> <p>I do want to vaccinate, just not sure about getting it all at once.<br /> There was a thread on this months ago, but i know theres been a lot more births since then.<br /> I trust bees to keep this friendly and not get too heated since its a hot button issue. </p>
