When will you start to vaccinate your child? I'm making this a poll so it stays drama free.

Followed the schedule and recommendation of my ped. DD had her first shot in the hospital and has gotten everything else on schedule, no delays. I will do the same with this baby. Chat Icon

Crashing to share my experience.

The first I heard about the hep b was when DD was a few hours old and I just wasn't prepared to decide. The ped said we could wait, that it wasn't a big deal, so we waited. She got her first shots at 2 months and was fine. Got her first dose of hep b at 3 months and was inconsolable for two hours the next day. The dr. had told me there is rarely a reaction to that shot, but most likely her leg was sore. Had she been less than a day old I never would have made the connection between my screaming newborn and a shot. I didn't know her personality, nursing was going VERY slow and I likely would have thought she was starving not hurting. Thinking back, I'm so glad I waited and was able to recognize her reaction. I will 100% wait with future children as well. She'll be fully caught up at her 9 month appointment so in the end it's not a big deal. Just something to think about for those who are debating what to do.

My GF who is a Dr. told me NOT to get the Hep. shot in the hospital and wait until the first/second ped. appointment. Then we do one shot at a time every 3-4 weeks... My DS finished his series of shots by the time he was 2...I will do the same with my second baby...I wanted to know what shot was giving what reaction and I also didnt want to put too many things in that little body :( KWIM? its a personal preference...

I declined the hep B in the hospital for both my kids. I figured birth is eventful enough!

Same here. The one ped that I went to visit has a schedule where they only get one shot at a time during a visit. So if I choose that ped then I will be following their schedule.

Declined hep b in hospital. Started vaccinations at 2 months at Dr's office. Their policy is 2 shots (sticks) per visit (They're combo shots so its more then 2 vaccinations really.)
