vaccines

okay guys… if you have a different opinion on this that’s okay but i’m specifically looking for moms who have the same views… i do NOT absolutely positively do not want to vaccinate my son. like what so ever but my hubby is in the military and while we can request to stay state side there is a chance that he will be required to go out of country… however the navy refuses to allow non vaccinated dependents (wife and child/children) to stay with a permanent visa they also will refuse to pay for anything of my sons in the move not only that he will be able to stay with us for 90 days at max and then be deported back to the states… he’s five months old and thankfully we are supposed to be staying in the states for at least a couple more years… however i’m terrified now… i really really do not want to vaccinate but it’s either i do that or we risk not having our son with us if we were to ever be moved out of state… i need opinions do i stand firm in my no vaccines/ delayed (we want to get a couple rsv measles things like that) but we don’t want all 22-30 of them… im really freaking out here

Stay calm. It’s easy to catastrophize but right now everything is okay. Can you get an exemption certificate? The army tend to accept that - but I’m in the UK and they don’t mandate these type of things. I question harder why in the US it’s so mandatory.

I would make a vaccine choice when absolutely essential. If needed I would delay for as long as possible and detox them immediately with help from a homeopath. You might find they don’t want all vaccines just some if travelling etc.

Interesting you choose RSV & Measles to vaccinate against. They are my least concern 🙈 why those for you?

I received my green card with zero vaccines. I had to prove moral convictions or religious reasons not to. Canadian to America. This was during Covid too! Despite them requiring them. I had to do a little more work and it was definitely not something they suggested OR even told me was possible. I even ended up no longer using my lawyer since her possibly getting a denial was more important to her than actually helping someone with their values of not receiving any vaccines.

Zero regrets.

If you can, find out if your son can get tested for the MTFHR gene and see if he has a certain mutation. From what I hear, with certain mutations of it, they can be more likely to be impacted by the toxic stuff in the vaccine because their body isn’t able to detox properly. In that case, a much more spread out schedule is recommended. (I still think the more spread out, the better regardless of whether someone has the mutation or not) But obviously if you have no choice in the matter, and must vaccinate, at least you’ll see what the risks are here. You can also detox using homeopathy and herbs as well as use them to prepare the body for the vax.

Co sleeping

Maybe I’m being dumb but I don’t understand the concept of co sleeping for those of you who do it when baby doesn’t stay down in their cot. Am I missing the point or is there no difference in the two? I put my baby down in the bed the same way I put her in her cot. Am I doing it wrong? She wakes up and cries and doesn’t want to stay down. She wants to be held. I’ve tried to hold her, lie down and the roll over so she still thinks I’m holding her, but there’s too much movement and she wakes up regardless of co sleeping. Do other mums hold their babies or cuddle them when co sleeping? From the lullaby trust I can see that the baby is not being held in any way, so I can’t understand how I’m supposed to sleep if my baby doesn’t want to be put down even when co sleeping..

Mantras getting me through month 4 with my previously amazing sleeper 🥹

As most of us are currently going through it with sleep, i thought I’d share the things I’m telling myself at 4 in the morning when she is frantically thrashing around trying to connect her sleep cycles.

“Despite what people call it, this is not a regression. She is not going backwards, she is learning something new.”

“She is a baby doing baby things - sometimes they don’t make sense”

“Her brain is going through a massive change. Regardless of how tired I am, she is building something that will stay with her for life.”

“I can only help give her the foundations to get through this, this is something she will learn for herself, in her own time.“

“I am lucky that get to be here to watch her learn this new skill.”

“I will sleep again.” (Probably the most important one)

I know I’m finding this period tough, because before now we had a baby who only woke once during the night. These are nice reminders I repeat to myself when I’m tired (and awake at 3:45). I hope they might be useful to someone else in the same position.

Not sleeping in crib/ bed

I’ve got a 4 week year old and since birth, they don’t like sleeping in their own next to me crib or even on my bed and if so, it can sometimes last a few minutes when I put them down 😭

Baby only sleeps if on me or their dad. Any tips to get baby to sleep on crib/ bed without waking up after 5 minutes 😭

6 month olds sleep

My little girl used to sleep really well, she’d go down around 7pm and wake once for a feed normally around 4am then sleep till 7am. I have no idea what is going on at the moment but she is awful and I’m feeling so sleep deprived it’s starting to get me down.
She won’t settle now when she goes down, she’s on and off crying and whinging constantly and has been needing a feed around 12am and even then doesn’t sleep very well after, I just can’t work out what’s going on 🤯🤯 Is anyone else’s little one doing this? 🤦‍♀️ I have no help during the day, she has been napping for 15 mins maximum in the day time and I also have a 3 year old to occupy so I’m just dying for some decent sleep.
