Measles
Disclaimer: This is NOT a political post or advice against vaccines.
For those that vaccinate and have a LO under 6 months, what are you doing/thinking about the Measles outbreak? My pediatrician didn’t seem too concerned and said to just be careful and wash our hands in crowded places. He didn’t even seem eager to vaccinate at 6 months since it’s a 1 year old shot. I’m concerned 😭

The vaccine is not supposed to be given before one year old for a reason. Their bodies may not take it well. Your baby will be ok, just don’t go to big crowds & don’t let people you don’t trust hold him or her.
@Angela do you have a case study for the body not accepting the vaccine under 1 year? I’ve not heard this yet 😳
@Angela ohhh ok lol
I don’t live in an area where the measles outbreak is happening, but I try not to take her to places with many people to start. Basically just try to keep baby and her items as clean as possible and away from sickness.
I would not vax early,

Our pediatrician said that if we plan to travel to a hot spot or we start getting cases locally they’ll consider vax under 1year. If it’s offered we will be taking it, our son was born 6 weeks early.
