Dear mommy and daddy,

I am so cozy in here right now with a lot on my growing mind. It seems that the world I am entering is full of great promises and hope but there is also a lot of concern over our planet and the health and well-being of us little ones. It doesn't look like the planet is the place it used to be where we could roam free in the fields without worries about pesticides and other toxic chemicals. I thought I could help you along a little bit on what we wee ones need so that you can protect us once we arrive in your arms. Besides, mommy is busy preparing for my birthday party and she could use some extra help!

The most important thing to know when considering vaccines for your child is that you do have a choice. You as a parent have the right to chose to vaccinate according to the recommended schedule, alternative schedule, or no vaccines at all! Many people are led to believe that if their child is not vaccinated that they will not be allowed into school and they are putting their child in danger.

The second most important thing to do is to get educated! Talk to your family doctor, pediatrician, and holistic health practitioner about your choices, rights, and the benefits and risks associated with vaccinations (both short and long term risks). However, don’t rely entirely on your doctor’s advice; there are several books as well as websites that I recommend parents review prior to making their decisions. Please educate yourself on both sides of this topic in order to make an informed decision. If you still need more time to make a choice, most doctors will respect your choice to postpone the vaccines.
