how do you deal with this?

Question

How do you deal with family members trying to convince you not to vaccinate your kids? I'm having my first and my sister is very against vaccinations. And everywhere I go she's trying to tell me not to vaccinate my child. 
How do I deal with this? Because I want to vaccinate but she really makes me second guess doing it with all of the things she says about how bad it is.

Answer

Vaccines are an amazing thing. Tell her that although you appreciate it, this is your child, and you'll do your own research and decide whether or not to vaccinate, without her input.

Answer

Take your child to the pediatrician and get them vaccinated. Honestly if you already told her how you feel & she can't respect that I would just nod my head & "agree" with her and then do what I feel & know what is best for my child

Answer

Do your own research!

Answer

There isn't substantial evidence that links vaccines to any developmental or behavioral issues. All I've heard of is autism, but the person who wrote those reports forged and completely made up the information. 
If you want to guard your own child against these diseases, please do. It's your child and your choice. Not your sisters child.

Answer

Either way it's your decision. No one else's opinion matters other than your and your partners!

Answer

Is she a doctor? Or has she personally done research involving all the vaccines in question? No? Then she has absolutely no say. Sorry to be harsh, but not vaccinating children is fucking ridiculous. So manyunnecessary  diseases have been coming from not vaccinating. Either do your own research or trust your gut. Dont let her sway your opinion when its already made up

Answer

Do your own research it's your choice not hers and tell her as well thank you but I will do what I think is best for my child

Answer

Take her for coffee. Stay calm. Explain you've heard her out and you would like her to stop. Tell her it's best for the relationship you don't discuss it bc it's making you uncomfortable.
