Flu shot for baby

My son is almost 7 months and at his 6 month they offered the flu shot along with his vaccs... I really don't know how I feel about getting him the flu shot and this is my first baby. What are your thoughts? Thank you in advance ❤

I did get the flu shot for my son, I know it’s a little controversial but we are planning on traveling this fall. My son just had COVID and I’d do anything to protect him from getting sick again. (Minus the COVID vax because we won’t do that for him). At the end of the day the doctor said it’s my decision, as it is yours. Is your little one in daycare? If he is you may want to consider it.

I didn't get one for either of my children and I am not going to be because you don't know if they will be allergic to it so I would rather them build an immunity to the flu

Flu shot, Covid vaxx, MMR.. they are all the same industry with the same greed. As first time moms we are so vulnerable and would do whatever we could to keep our babies safe. I would recommend watching that documentary Vaxxed and Vaxxed 2 before doing any further shots. God bless

how do they build an immunity to the flu when the flu vax is a different strain each year?

Avatar

you don’t build an immunity lol that’s the point of the flu vaccine but the flu vaccine isn’t perfect either because it’s just a guess on what strain will be the most prevalent that year.

I'm not going to do it not my self not for my baby. There are different ways to protect from flue, plus nothing better than own immunity. Good luck with your decision

i would also personally recommend watching « a shot in the dark » opened my eyes to a lot and made me actually do my own research for my baby

I’ve seen it. Thanks!! There’s a list of I think 23 docs to watch.. I just always introduce those first. I love(don’t love) that they focus on the HPV so it’s an older age that can still have damaging effects. It’s like people don’t realize adults can die from these things too. Hello, all these blood clots in the Covid 💉 deaths. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Very sad and evil world we live in.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
