Hi and Welcome. I have a 5 month old daughter, so I can feel your

pain.

Anyway, I think several people who start out on this group

(including myself) were leaning toward selective or delayed vaxing,

but it really doesn't take long to be convinced otherwise, so I

would say that most people here have come to the opinion that vaxing

is bad altogether, but this is something that developes over time by

reading, reading, reading. There is not one thing that you can read

that will convince you one way or the other. It is something that

will develope over time. Learning about the diseases that you are

vaxing for is also important along with learning about your health

in general and what to do if you encounter a disease (which could

happen even if vaxed). When you become more afraid of the vaxing

(and unknown effects) than you are of the diseases (with known

effects), that is when your decision has been made.

Hey, Malia, welcome to the group. I think there are people on here who

do delayed vaxxes but they don't post. The people who post regularly

are all against vaccines. My son is 7 mos and as of now we are not

planning to vaccinate him, but I agree that it's a very difficult

decision because it's hard, as a layperson, to know whose science to

believe, and to wade through the rhetoric on both sides to discern the

truth. It seems almost impossible to find data that isn't being put

forth as an argument for or against vaccines. Very difficult as a

parent to know what to do.

Lots of good info here, though, if you can keep up with the volume...

One more thing I forgot to say -- you mentioned that you have to carry

your baby around all the time. Maybe you're already doing this, but

wearing your baby in a sling is a good way to keep her close and it

frees up your arms/hands (at least somewhat) to do other things. Just a

thought. -Angie

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the welcome.....

Yes, we have 3 baby carriers. A pouch sling, which we never got the

hang of and Lily hated. An over-the-shoulder-baby-holder which she

will occassionally tolerate. And an Ergo front carrier which she likes

the most, but still doesn't want to be in it much.

Where do you recommend I start with all of the info available? What

was particularily helpful for you in making your decision?

Thanks for the welcome! I know it is a tough decision. One of the

hardest of my life. Hubby and I are both leaning towards not vaxing at

all, but we are not comfortable enough with our decision to be able to

defend it well.

No time and no money to take one of your classes right now, sorry

As for my pregnancy and labor/birth...everything was great! No

complications or problems during pregnancy. Labor was quick and

relatively easy, no drugs or interventions...started breastfeeding

right away......

Hi, ! I also have a 5000; I traded up my 4000 some years back and

went the extra mile for the red one (love it!).

BTW, my buddy Steve is from Columbia, Missouri. He's a

world-renowned cheese authority--clearly, Mo. produces some good

people!

Introduction and hello

 

Hi--

My name is and I am pretty new to this list. I'm excited for the

discussions and new ideas, recipes and friends. I've used a vitamix

for many years. My mom bought a reconditioned 3600 back in the mid

70's. She used it some and then it got put in the cabinet. I got it

from her and used it almost daily for years and years. It finally gave

out and about 3 years ago I bought a reconditioned 5000. I LOVE it!!!

I make smoothies almost every day (especially green ones!). I use it

for hummus, ice creams, soups, etc. I'm always ready for a new vitamix

recipe or a new way to use it. A friend of mine just found out she has

diabetes and I'm trying to convince her she needs a vitamix!!

A really good ice cream is one cup of coconut milk and a 16 oz bag of

frozen pineapple (found it in the frozen fruit section at WalMart). It

is really good and has such a refreshing taste.

By the way, Lea Ann, I live in Springfield, MO, just down the road from

your hometown of Lebanon! Thanks so much for starting this group!
