Hi Fren,

I have a 7 week old and so far my husband and I are leaning towards not vaccinating. We are going to research to see if it's worth it for some of the serious diseases but our default position will be "no." We already turned town the hepatitis B vaccine. Both the husband and I are asthmatic and my husband is on the autism spectrum (high functioning though) and has OCD. My entire nuclear family except my mom is also on the autism spectrum. We are curious to see if our children develop any of these issues without vaccines.

EDIT: We are also trying to mostly practice herbal medicine. I got talked into taking an antibiotic due to an infection I got post birth and the effect on the baby was noticeable. She immediately became gassy and fussy just from what she got through my breastmilk. It looks like even low doses of antibiotics are linked to childhood development problems (https://www.theepochtimes.com/antibiotics-may-alter-infant-brain-development-study_4041066.html) so we are trying to combat with baby probiotics but that's another thing to watch for.
