Advice:
Help finding a pediatrician
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
I am 8 months pregnant with my first child and have been trying to find a pediatrician who will respect my wishes to have my child vaccinated on the delayed vaccination schedule. I am set on delaying vaccinations, and may not have my child vaccinated at all in the future. I live in Ohio and would love some recommendations for pediatricians...or even advice on how to go about finding one. So far, i haven't had any luck. Also, can i just refuse to have my child vaccinated or do I need to fill out the exemption for religious or philosophical beliefs form before hand?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

" there are some pediatricians that will honor your wish to delay the shots or at least space them out , they know they can space them , i can't see why they would give you a problem , you should be able to get what you want for your child, "

" You are the parent, and if they want to give your baby all the vaccines at once, just say no! You will allow one at a time and after the baby is old enough to handel it, and if they will not oblige, there are options to have clinics do it, at the taxpayer expense, if you want. I know that Oli was affected by too many at once, and that was what triggered his regession. You are smart, and don't let a doctor change your mind. Usually they are wrong about more things than they are right.

good luck with your baby! "
