You don't HAVE to stop if you don't want to. We only allow one shot per week for our son.

I can't find her. I only know her by her picture. There are many great moms on here that know all the facts of both sides. I hope one sees this :giggle: . This might be able to help a little http://www.diaperswappers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119362. Maybe post on the parenting forum as well. That is where they are always talking about this kind of stuff :goodvibes:

I would tell you to do your own research, and not expect people in the forums to tell you why it's bad. Read books, check out websites, talk with doctors, ect.
In the meantime, I would tell you to keep vaxing until you get educated on the subject. :goodvibes:

I would stop if you have doubts. You can always get them later, you can not take them back. I know I am outright refusing MMRs since my son's neurologist reccommended that for my son. NF1 and MMR shots sometimes leads to Autism according to the neurologist. I personally choose to delay my daughter's by atleast 2 years since I realized the kids in my family that got shots on time ended up with learning disabilities. Even my mom pointed that out to me last time we talked. So, I choose, because of that.

What is the NF1?
Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1): also known as von Recklinghausen NF or Peripheral NF. Occurring in 1:3,000 births, web characterized by multiple cafe-au-lait spots and neurofibromas on or under the skin. Enlargement and deformation of bones and curvature of the spine (scoliosis) may also occur. Occasionally, tumors may develop in the brain, on cranial nerves, or on the spinal cord. About 50% of people with NF also have learning disabilities.
Cafe-Au lait spots are discolorations in the skin and Neurofibromas are non cancerous tumors through the body in a layer of the skin that show up at bumps through out the body.

I thought so. We used to vax and after reading it and doing some research, we stopped.

When in doubt, don't. You can always get them later. I'm currently reading The Vaccine Book & have not yet found any that seem worth while...though I'm not done with the book.

we are following the modified schedule in Dr Sear's book. you really need to read up - there are a lot of very serious arguements for both sides and no one can tell you definitively what to do.
It also depends on your situation. the woman that watches dd homeschools and doesn't travel and doesn't vax. Her kids don't come in contact with a lot of nasties. DH is in the EMS service so is in contact with a lot of nasty stuff on a daily basis so we really need to do it. We also travel to areas that have active diseases - polio, etc.
Per Dr Sears, we search out where we can get aluminium free shots, can split up the MMR into separate shots, etc. Its a hassle but worth it for us.
Good luck.

Our oldest is fully vaxed. I didn't know any different then.
With our youngest, we delayed and will continue to do so.
According to NC, he is caught up on his shots, but I'm going to make sure I know ahead of time, the ones they would administer, do my research and then decide if he shall receive it.
I had strong feelings of him getting the MMR at his 15month appt. He didn't get it until 20 months. My dh was also behind me in believing to wait.
He received a HepA at his 2 yo. appt. He then started running a fever along with a cold....he wound up having a wicked double ear infection...his first ever. Are the two related, probably not, but I should have done my research before giving him the HepA. Would he still have gotten the ear infection? I dunno?
You'll need to decide what is best for your child.
GL in your decisions!

If you are asking how. 50% of people have a parent with it. 50% are spontanous mutations.
