Find a new ped. This won't be the end of it. I had a doctor for ds that supposedly was onboard with delaying until 2 (even though I was still on the fence about vaxing at all...I've since made the decision not to vax)...anyway, by ds's 4 month appt she was already changing her tune and really pressure me to vax at the 6 month appt. I found a doctor that respects the fact that we're the parents and ultimately I and dh are solely entrusted with ds's care and well-being, so we have to do what we think is in his best interests. They don't have to agree with not vaxing, but I think a good doctor isn't intimidated by parents who disagree with them.
