If you want to slow them down, do it. Especially since you're working with a preemie. You might ask your doc if preemies were included in safety studies? All I have for evidence of the benefits of slowing down the schedule is anecdotal and not "scientific", but I know of some kids that it's helped. (ie, one friend had her baby only get one shot at a time, and he never even got the standard low-grade standard fever that most babies are expected to get).<br />But yeah, go with your gut. You guys are already very careful and cautious with how you let him be around others, etc. <br />Ooh you might also weigh the importance of one vaccine over another. For example, the CDC's website says that the most common way for HepB to be spread is through having sex with an infected person, or sharing needles with an infected person. Or being born to an infected mother. If your baby doesn't meet those risk criteria... hold off.Hollyhttp://marcydrake.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4092523395981307144.post-34199939261486919772011-04-13T15:26:42.974-05:002011-04-13T15:26:42.974-05:00Just so you know, 18 lbs. is actually an acceptabl...Just so you know, 18 lbs. is actually an acceptable weight for a one year old. Two of my children were around that at a year and we were never told they were underwieght or malnourished. They were fine on the growth chart. They probably write that on the prescription so the insurance has a reason to pay for it. He looks very healthy to me. His is very, very precious. And we have always waited on shots till we thought they were ready. Don't feel bad about wanting to do that. Good luck and God bless!Mary Webbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4092523395981307144.post-26317467222170804242011-04-12T23:35:34.771-05:002011-04-12T23:35:34.771-05:00Maybe our doc will write a prescript for Pediasure...Maybe our doc will write a prescript for Pediasure for Camdyn. She's only 15 lbs. I know how exciting it is to finally be able to show your babies off. Everyone else gets to at 1 month while we have to wait a year! Hope you guys have many more fun outings.

Praying for the reflux and constipation. Maybe the additional protein in the Pediasure is causing the back-up? So glad the O2 is getting better, sleeping is good for everyone, especially cranky babies that are teething and their tired Mommies. Praying for you all and love you so much!!!Joey Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05457825830444707299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4092523395981307144.post-48290185318667251292011-04-12T17:48:24.990-05:002011-04-12T17:48:24.990-05:00I know a thing or two about those darn vaccines. :...I know a thing or two about those darn vaccines. :) Shoot me a message on fb if you want to, I always love to talk vaxes!-Ryan-https://www.blogger.com/profile/14011478339973271255noreply@blogger.com
