First Round of Vaccines Today

Oh goodness-- vaccines are just bad news. I got my 3 yr old vaccinated and it was awful.. and after MUCH MUCH research decided NOT to vaccinate my baby girl, who is now 7 months old. Not just because of the risk of autism, but there are tons of other risks.
I'm not here to preach.. just do a little research and do what you think is right.
heres a good website to start off with:

Hi T.,

Some kids have allergies to the toxic ingredients in vaccines. I was suprised when I looked up the ingredients and saw how many toxins these doctors are injecting into our babies. Some kids immune systems just can not take it. I personally do not vaccinate as I am way to scared, to me the potential side effects (such as autism) are worse than most of the diseases. I have read that if you wait until your child is 2 years-old and then just do a single vaccine every 6 months is safer. We waited until my son was 2 and was going to start and then read more rsearch and decided not to. He is now 3 and has never had to have a single medication... no antibiotics, nothing. Vaccines lower immune systems and vaccinated kids seem to catch so many more illnesses. A little girl at my son's daycare got chickenpox even though she had recieved the vaccine. My son, which was not vaccinated for chicken pox didn't get it and was around her every week day.
There are some great books out there. Actress Jenny MacArthey just wrote one. Oprah has had her as well as Actress Holly Robinson-Peete on her show to speak about the dangers of vaccines. I bet you can see clips on Oprah's website.

Its Important that you read the books about vaccine controversies. Most parents are too lazy to read them and then are surprised when their child has a reaction.

I also understand why you are giving your baby Tylenol but remember that it too is a potent hepatotoxin. You have no idea how many liver transplants are caused by acetominophen overdose.

Enough scolding. Please inform yourself before you use these highly toxic preparations the pediatricians hand out like safe candy. They are all very dangerous.
Good Luck.

I would be very careful giving vaccines. I know it is recommended to start at 3 months now and as many as 12 different vaccines are given at once. I would research the side effects online before I give the second round if I were you. My daughter had a bad reaction to pertussis and almost died. The doctor said it was an attenuated LIVE virus, thus more virulent. We eliminated it next round. I never gave MMR, because of it's link with autism. The mercury in vaccines can be a real problem in diseases in children. Sincerely,

Have you checked where the bandaids are-some babies are very sensitive to the bandages esp the ones from the drs office. Many people are allergic to adhesive tape and can't use it at all. If she will calm down long enough for you to feed her, she's probably ok-but if she is still fussy in the morning you may call the dr.

It's not unusual, which I know is a frustrating response! My son did the same thing at his first round of vaccinations. No fever but it was the first time I had ever experienced holding him and not being able to console him. He simply cried himself to exhaustion and fell asleep. Good news is that he woke up happy as a clam the next day. The injection sites are extremely sore and tender for little ones. My guess is that if you feel there you'll feel a good size knot in the muscle that explains the pain. If you still feel concerned, do call your pediatricians on call nurse and talk to someone about your concerns.

The next time you get shots, right after the injections are given, rub the injection site with your palm to prevent that hard knot from forming. It may help.

Someone told me when my children were getting their shots- to give tylenol 30 minutes prior to shots. Then when you get home rub Dr. Tichenor's on the spot where they got the shots. It worked for both my girls. I did it everytime they got shots and believe it or not my girls never acted like they had sore arms or legs, never swole up or got red. They are 14 and 9 now.

T. M,
You might try rubbing the area she had the shots with rubbing alcohol. That takes the soreness out. My 2 1/2 month received her first shots this past Wednesday and she slept most of the day as well. She never did run a fever either. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

This is very important! You need to report the reaction at: http://www.fda.gov/CbER/vaers/vaers.htm. Also, learn more at www.drcarley.com. Dr. Carley is the leading expert on vaccine reactions. If your daughter's first round produced this response, the next could be much worse, and despite claims made by money hungry drug companies, vaccines can affect the immune system, and can cause autism. PLEASE go to those websites to learn more.

I would document this experiance, just in case there are problems later on...and I would hold off on other vaccines as long as you can.
They do not want to admit that vaccines are dangerous, but the fact is they can be...do your research, and don't let anyone pressure you into disabling your own child.

If he is not doing much better today I would call the doctor and tell him the tylenol is not working. I have a 4 month old and he was very fussy the day he received his first round of shots. By the next day he was fine. We are going for his second round next week. I am not looking forward to it. Just try to find things that calm her down. Going for a walk outside looking at the trees, Taking a bath, or breastfeeding all work for me when my little one is upset or hurting. I hope she is better today.

I would call the Dr.- I know on my papers that they give me every time my kids get vaccinated, it says in the symptom list of when to call the dr (high fever, redness, swelling, etc.) extreme fussiness out of the norm to call the dr. What you describe sounds like extreme fussiness to me. She may be allergic to something in the vaccine. I would call the nurse & express your concerns.
I hope everything is ok.

You might have another culprit - upset stomach, earache, etc. Pay close attention if she's smacking at the side of her head while she's crying or trying to "curl up"...

It sounds like your little one is having an extreme reaction. I'm concerned that since it isn't a typical one (extreme redness at the injection site, higher than normal fever, etc) your dr. may not listen to you. You are the mom. You know your child. You know this is not the normal fussing. My nephew had a severe reaction and did not have any more shots. I am not a fan of vaccines. I believe the jury is still out. I didn't vaccinate my kids until they were older. Some moms don't start the process until their children are 6-12 months old. It's up to you to decide what is best for your child.

My suggestion would be to give her IBprofin alternately with the Tylenol. Both my kids do better on it than Tylenol anyway. Also, with my son warm baths seemed to help calm him. If we just put his feet in the water it would sooth him. I hope this helps!

It is very true that giving your child alternating pain relievers is effective. My pediatrician is THE BEST and he recommends alternating children's tylenol and children's motrin every four hours. For some reason, he explained to me that he is not a big fan of infants tylenol....
