here's my advise:
don't let them vaccinate at birth. they don't ask you....they just do it, so control that.
don't let them group the vaccinations all together. it's harder on the baby. they will pressure you to do so. they are not in control, you are.
i have read but can't remember the details specifically, i forget what it was they recommended you give the baby BEFORE a vaccination. ugh, i wish i could remember. it was some simple thing. i bet you could research that and find it.
if your baby is under the weather in any possible way, don't do it. wait until they are thriving.
i'm not advising to do it or not. i'm giving you this advise in case you do decide to do it.
all of mine are, but i'm not sure i would do it now. i didn't know then what i know now. i lean towards not doing it, but idk.
i would consider possibly just delaying it all for now and see how quickly things change in the coming months regarding vaccinations. you don't even have to make a solid decision until your kid is school aged, or day care aged (which i recommend highly that you avoid) if that's the route you choose. it's pretty easy to isolate a baby, even a toddler because all they want to do is just be with you, and noone else. i also want to recommend to you to stay home with your child because it is truly a magical time and realistically speaking, you only have your child's full attention and their full desire to be with you for only about 10 years. after that they want more and more to be with their peers and it just keeps getting less and less time as they older. it's a bittersweet time at that point. you are proud of their increasing maturity and social skills but increasingly sad because you are in competition for their time. i hope that helps you.....and nurse your baby for as long as you can....so hard in the beginning, but bite the bullet. in the long run it is so much easier for you and so healthy for baby.
