Anxious about giving my baby his jabs

Every time my girl had hers she instantly cried but a minute later once we were out of the door she had already forgotten and was happy again! It’s 20 seconds of 😵‍💫 but they recover so quickly I promise 💪🏻

My baby never got sick from any of her vaccinations. Of course she was upset about them but after getting them I held her and breastfed her and she was fine ❤️

Nope!!!

My son has had no reaction to any of his vaccines (he's nearly 14 months and has had all of them). He screamed the place down and it was horrific, especially the 1 year ones, but it was over and done with in under a minute and he was his normal self afterwards. A severe reaction to them is extremely rare and I believe the benefits of them outweigh the risks. I'd rather a few days of grumpiness than him being severely ill from catching something he could be protected from x

I hated taking mine to get her jabs, but that is because when she is sad I am extremely sad. I litrlly sit on the sofa crying with her because I just feel her emotions so strongly. Her 12 and 16 week ones my husband held her so I could just pace to eleviate the feeling. Mine wasn't unwell, just upset for 5 hours unless held tightly. It's far better then the nasty diseases that they could get if they don't have their vaccines. And despite how it makes me feel she will be having her 1 year vaccines because MMR is on the rise thanks to false evidence of it causing autism still having an affect today

I find it beggars belief people don’t trust decades of research and proof that vaccines work, yet will happily pump their kids full of E-numbers and processed foods, then watch them lick the walls at soft play. I mean everyone, you do you, but there’s a reason there’s a resurgence in measles and whooping cough etc…and it doesn’t take 2 brain cells to figure out why. Until you’ve taken yourself off to medical school for years, your internet “research” counts for absolutely nothing. Come back once you have your PhD and I might give you the time of day. Sorry I feel really strongly, that there’s a dearth of common sense floating around right now and it’s melting my brain 😵‍💫 Also pregnant and hormonal.

@Bee I think it's super interesting that you went antivax after the pandemic, and @squishymommy1 started giving her kids vaccines during the pandemic after being antivax. You guys both did your "research" but came to very different conclusions. I'd listen to a podcast about it 😂

My daughter cried for a bit but then she was fine, gave her calpol throughout the day, she slept and had a temperature the next day but after that she was fine. Don’t let the anti-vaxxers scare you. They’re the reason why measles are making a fast return and clearly haven’t done enough research like they always seem to claim.

@Renee definitely is not the cause of SIDS or food allergies😂😂

@Jasmine thanks for laughing at what I went through. You never have to question it because it didn’t happen to you.

@Renee but it really is silly to think vaccinations are the cause of SIDS & food allergies. Please don’t tell me you also believe vaccinations can ‘cause’ autism..

@Jasmine if it was that silly, droves of concerned parents wouldn’t be buying the theory more and more every day. Unless everyone is just really, really silly.

@Renee I think it’s silly not to vaccinate your children🥰 Unvaccinated children are the ones that spread the disease to our perfectly healthy & happy children that are vaccinated.

@Jasmine I think it’s not silly. Back to square one on this argument. I don’t think we’ll get anywhere on here. And I don’t dislike you in any way for thinking this way. I understand it completely, and I believe you are a good parent for doing what you believe is best. You don’t have to think the same, but I hope you have a good day.

I struggled with this as well. With my first my husband held him for all his vaccines so I didn’t have to. This time round I declined the vit K jab and did the drops instead. They have the same benefits and just a more gentle way of doing it rather than jab a newborn and their first experience in this world is pain. I think this time round I’ll ask my husband to take baby by himself to her vaccinations as he’s much better with that sort of thing and I’ll just stay home with the toddler lol

Nope, no fear of them getting their routine vaccinations, with a very small risk of a serious reaction to them. Legit fear that they might otherwise catch an entirely preventable disease that could end up making them seriously ill or killing them though. Ain’t no amount of alternative medicine, healthy eating or whatever else going to give my children protection against measles, certain strains of meningitis etc etc. Some really questionable points shared above. “Very likely to make your baby sick”, “babies don’t have immune systems”, “the childhood schedule isn’t safe” “vaccines cause SIDS” “vaccines cause autism” etc etc. Do your own research to make an informed decision, absolutely. You should feel happy with whatever you decide. Don’t get them just because someone told you to, but god, please don’t decide not to get them based on some of the stuff like mentioned above 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Renee 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

God, I hate these threads. There’s always so much fearmongering misinformation being shared. There’s a reason certain diseases are on the up and up again and it’s because of moms who DiD tHeIr OwN rEsEaRcH. I wasn’t vaccinated as a child because my mum was simply too lazy to walk 5 mins to the doctors surgery. I was the sickest child. Try having chickenpox twice, the second time inside your girl parts. Then it returning as shingles at 27…in your eye and on your face! Also, getting mumps as a teenager and it becoming meningitis was so much fun. Not. My girl is vaccinated to protect her and to protect the children of those crunchy mums who refuse to listen to decades of research and development. Oh and edit - I have AuDHD. Vaccines couldn’t possibly cause autism or ADHD. It’s genetic. If you have a neurodivergent child it’s because of you or your partners genetic makeup, not frikken vaccines.

Not vaccinating is simply just irresponsible and medically negligent. It’s fine to space them out (although I don’t understand why) but please vaccinate your crotch goblins.
