Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 That is why I believe ALL newborns (vaxxed or not) should be cocooned for several months after they are born. In other words, the baby simply stayed home and her contacts to both children AND adults (we're pretty germy too, you know) were limited. I know this isn't for everyone and simply not practical for some. But for me, it was wonderful and I began relaxing some once my baby was around six months old.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 I think you are right Kathleen. All newborns should be cocooned. We took ours everywhere even to africa when she was four months and i was constantly worried. but i told myself she was healthier not vaccinated and she was fully breastfed. i think breastmilk helps too. its those formula fed babies that i am worry about who have had a few vaccinations to boot. kim In a message dated 1/2/2002 11:09:02 AM Central Standard Time, HolisticMomma@... writes: > Subj:Re: your unvax child and new borns > Date:1/2/2002 11:09:02 AM Central Standard Time > From: HolisticMomma@... > Reply-to: <A HREF= " mailto:Vaccinations " >Vaccinations </A> > Vaccinations > > > > > That is why I believe ALL newborns (vaxxed or not) should be cocooned for > several months after they are born.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 Good point about the formula feeding, Kim. Actually, I was unable to breastfeed my baby so that was another reason I felt strongly about " cocooning " . My little darling just didn't get to have benefit of breastmilk other than a few drops here and there. So I knew that was additional cause for caution.

Well worse would be haveing your VAXED kid carry something like that to a newborn and since they were vaxed the docs wouldn't even check it til your kid was REALLY sick and probably the baby would be died or to far gone before you knew your kid had it! I'd think it would be better for it to be carried by a non vaxed kid so at least you could warn the parent they'd been exposed! docs are sometimes so numb and stuck on their " perfection " that they dont even other to look at the obvious! If they babyhad had the first round of shots they'd have had the pertusis shot anyway! If it works so great the kid should be fine right?! By not vaxing you are NOT more likely to have your kid cary anyhting to the baby than a vaxed one infact probably less likely because you know enoughto be aware! Dad MOM, big sis/bro, gramma, grampa etc could carry anyhting to baby just as easily as a child. maybe more so since parent have no issue having adults and siblings cuddle coo and gooo and kiss the baby therefore coming in closer contact with the baby than most outside " children. My sisters friend was totally vaxed and still got pertusus 4 times in her first 4 yrs of life, got it 2 times when she was 2 and my sis never got it! I have a friend who is totally fenatiacl about baby being exposed to anyhting, oh if she only knew that of the 5 babys in the nursery at church only 1 other besides her own are actually vaxed! She is so worried about bay being expossed yet she totally formula feeds (never even tried nursing!) and put her in the church nursery at 1 1/2 weeks! sheesh the baby'll sleep the whole time! hold the por thing! ok enough of my rambling! marcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trenton was born at just before 11pm - by the next day I was walking around (while the morphine was still kicking I'm sure). I must admit, I couldn't pick Trenton up for a while, I could hold him, but couldn't lift him up (all 8 pounds). On another note - I have THE BEST Ob/Gyn - he said he would have let me go for a vaginal birth - if it had not been for the one foot under Trenton's butt. He also let me watch the entire operation with a mirror - it was very exciting, and Dr Lapp told fishing stories the entire time!! (LOL). He refused point blank to set a date for the birth, no matter how nervous I was that my water would break and the foot would come out, he insisted we wait for Trenton to decide - which he did two weeks early. I was actually refered to him by my midwife, my previous Dr. made me feel like a piece of meat (and she was FEMALE). Chelly San Diego, CA Mommy to Trenton 8/19/99 - No Shots!

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 I don't think there's any point in cloistering a baby away from the world. If you have *ANYONE* who lives outside the home, then you have a direct path for germ entry. Most of us women who are SAHM's have husbands who work... and guess what... there is just no place like the work place to breed germs <well, aside from daycare>. Older children in public school will also be bringing home all the latest and greatest bugs. I'd rather go to the mall than a public school... The **BEST** protection for a newborn is to be breastfed. Babies are born with functional, albeit immature immune systems. A breastfed baby has the added immune benefit of all it's mother's passive immunities, as well as ongoing active protection against any new bugs Mom and baby are exposed to. I was out and about with both my boys from the time they were tiny. We hit Wal-Mart with my youngest before he was even a week old. I wore him in a sling... and kept him close to me and didn't let strangers touch him, but I sure didn't limit our activity!! Liz Re: your unvax child and new borns I think you are right Kathleen.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 Of course there is a chance! Good grief, pertussis is hardly the end of the world. It happens all the time in fully vaxed newborns, it just doesn't get reported. A friend's newborn daughter caught pertussis in the hospital before she went home just this year. She's fine now, in spite of medical 'help'. As with most of the dread diseases, prompt and appropriate treatment is the key. As is good immune support, the most important aspect of which is breastfeeding.

But an unvaccinated child is no more threat than a vaccinated one since we know that vaxed children are quite capable of getting any of the illnesses that they are vaxed against. Vaxed children get a mutant strain of the illness, often more severe and deadly than the wild virus, imho. > > the older child who is unvaxx and more healthy could survive pertussis but a > new born who is already perhaps partially vaxxed, and compromised and so > young, and also with very down the line medical parents (ie using antibiotics > etc) would not necessarily survive and what a terrible situation.

Again, imho, if the baby is being breastfed and the mum has had the illnesses in question (talking more here about MMR than anything, although many people have had pertussis), the baby will receive maternal antibodies and be protected. That is what Nature intended. Nature did not intend for babies to be artificially fed and this is when things get screwed up. Obviously this will not happen 100% of the time, but mostly it *will* protect. If breastfeeding is *not* exclusive, forget the almost 100% protection - it's severely reduced. It only takes one bottle of formula! Not sure how many people on this list read Sheri's posting about breastfeeding, vaccination etc. from the NZ doctor, but it made this point very clearly and very well. The way to protect a baby's health is to breastfeed from the word " go " , exclusively, no formula, no other foods/drinks, and no vaccinations. End result - one healthy baby with no leaky gut. Healthy baby with no leaky gut = less risk of contracting *any* of these illnesses. The enteromammary circulation is an excellent method of protection. Breastfeeding exclusively even protects against pertussis. So keeping babies inside and away from perceived germs *isn't* the answer. The answer is to give them a healthy immune system from the start so that they are less susceptible to *any* illnesses. Just my opinion, but it's a cherished one...

Of course he's got 4 older brothers in school and a daddy who works. he's also got grandparents and cousins, etc... He was never " cocooned " in the way that he was never around anyone. The best ways to build up resistence to germs is to be exposed to them and have a fantastic immune system, built up by breastfeeding. 's 13 months old and still going strong on nursing!
