What are your opinion on Hep B at birth? Erythromyocin in the eyes at birth? Or the Vitamin K shot?

I don't really have an opinion one way or the other. It didn't cause any harm to my children, but I don't know if it ever really did them any GOOD, either.

very true. I did it all with Nichole, but didn't even look into it before she was born. HTe next one most likely will not get the eye goop or the Vit., K at birth. I don't think we will start vaccinating till months either

All three of mine are fine. I think I'd do whatever it took to make sure my newborn was protected from the outside enviroment right away. Tooooo many people want to hold a newborn and if you are in public there are tons of germs. Better safe then sorry. | ||

yes maybe, but hep B is spread through a positive mother, sex, and drugs. So my newborn will not be doing those anytime soon after birth. Vit K is for a VERY VERY rare condition and is leaked to leukimea in children. The eye goop is an anitibiotic to protext against STD's, so if you are clean and know you are then you are fine

No immunizations until at least 2-4 month checkup. No eye goop either. I do not have Hep B nor do I have any other STD so there is no need. Also Vitamin K is for clotting and only really needed if you have a boy that is getting circumsized. Obviously I did not have that issue.

I'm with you there too. I think I have decided to wait till 6 months to start vaxing though with the next one. Nichole goes for her 2 year check up probably next week sometime and I am debating whether I will vaccinate her with anything. I am most likely going to wait till we know that the diarrhea is from teething

my boy went start to NICU so it was like 3 houors before I even got to see his face...I have no idea what they gave him really...well I found out later but I was never really asked...lol They did ask before the Hep B vax though. I think it should be up to the parents to decide

thats so sad that they just do these things without giving the parents the rundown of what they do.
