My ped said it wasnt necessary unless she was in daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-for-lo#post-484182 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 16:33:13 +0000 luckypenny 484182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-for-lo#post-484180 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 16:27:06 +0000 regberadaisy 484180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I absolutely trust our ped 110% and they have not been pushy about anything. When he told is we absolutely should give her the flu shot because of the ramifications if we didn't we had no hesitation to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-for-lo#post-484155 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 15:59:01 +0000 littlek 484155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we did. I always get the flu shot so of course I got one for my LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-for-lo#post-484154 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 15:58:32 +0000 skibobrown 484154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we did b/c the flu can be pretty dangerous for little babies. They split it up into two doses for babies, so they don't get a full dose at ones. Our baby reacted just fine to the vaccine, so I'm sure we'll do it again in future years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-for-lo#post-484139 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 15:46:58 +0000 Sweet T 484139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO got it. He's had some respiratory illness in the past and we were worried that the flu would be a lot harder on him because of that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-for-lo#post-484128 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 15:36:58 +0000 lemondrop 484128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely, we were flying, so we got both doses very early in the season. Not worth the risks for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-for-lo#post-484125 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 15:34:46 +0000 brownie 484125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, because my husband has Cystic Fibrosis and the flu could kill him. I'm not sure I would if that wasn't the case. We do the flu shots separate from other shots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-for-lo#post-484041 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 14:36:12 +0000 BelugaBean 484041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I normally do too but he told us it was up to us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-for-lo#post-484039 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 14:35:12 +0000 autumnlove 484039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it was two doses. I just go along with my pediatrician's recommendations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-for-lo#post-484037 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 14:32:19 +0000 BelugaBean 484037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pediatrician told us we needed to decide if we wanted to give LO a flu shot at her next appointment this month. She'll be 6 months old on the 18th. I have nothing against the flu shot but I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do.</p> <p>Did you get your LO the flu shot this year? Why or why not? </p>
