Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 First, let me introduce myself. My name is Molly and I live in northern CA. I have a 13 month old daughter (first child). She recieved the first two rounds of shots at 2 and 4 months (because I hadn't done all my research yet and let the doc do the shots....). We stopped after that. But I have some questions.... I want to stop breastfeeding soon, as it is becoming too difficult with work. However, my doctor is pressuring me to continue until my daughter is a year and half. My doctor is AGAINST my feelings about vaccinations, and states I need to " protect " my daughter better since we are not doing shots, which is why I need to continue breastfeeding. My questions are: 1. Is this valid, what my doc claims? 2. What do I need to worry about health wise, that breastfeeding is protecting against? (HIB? Rotovirus?) 3. Since she got the first two rounds of all the normal shots, do I really need to worry since she has some immunity? Help! I refuse to continue with the shots, now that I am educated on the dangers, side effects, and damage vaccines cause. But, I also am having difficulties keeping up the breast feeding thing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Molly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
