Opinions ??? Help

Question

I am a first time mom to a baby boy due in October. Trying to research this stuff is so hard when everything is SO biased. I want to know research and opinions from other moms about the vitamin K shot, vaccines, and how you are doing/not doing vaccines.
Should I have them space vaccines out, do them regularly, not get them. I just don’t know where to create an opinion when the resources are off the wall.

Answer

CDC has a great page on SCIENCE-based reasons to vaccinate your child: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/index.html
The benefits of vaccination far outweigh associated risk ❤️ You can get as many opinions  as you want, but the bottom line is that vaccines are scientifically and objectively proven to work! I hope you chose to vaccinate

Answer

I mean, I really wouldn’t let the internet tell me what to do, I’d just ask my pediatrician. Some pediatricians
will let you have a prenatal visit to go over stuff like this. This person is going to be your child’s doctor for 18 years, hopefully you’d trust them enough to help you make the right decisions on those things. Our pediatrician will allow us to space out our son’s shots if we want but doesn’t feel it’s necessary.

Answer

The best thing you can do is educate yourself on the good, the bad, and the ugly of everything so you can make the choices with as much knowledge and understanding as possible. The biggest thing is to look at valid sources where they cite all of their claims so you can see where they’re getting their information. 
CDC and WHO are great places to start, always. Never go to anything that has “blog” in it. A random person’s opinion piece isn’t the same as doing research. If you do read blogs, disregard any that don’t back up their claims with legitimate research articles. Many blogs will cite other blogs… Going to your local library, finding medical texts can be very helpful if you’re really getting into it.
