Now that evidence has come out that autism is not linked to vaccinations, we have decided to put Leo on a regular vaccination schedule. It's less pokes for him and less co-payments for us, so it's a win-win!
He had to get 4 separate shots today to catch him up. He was such a brave boy! He got very mad, but within 30 seconds of cuddling with Mama he was just fine. I think I was more traumatized than he was.
His spitting up has reached a fever pitch, so Dr. Z increased his Zantac dosage a bit. Fingers crossed this will reduce the amount of laundry we do in this household!
He weighs 12 lbs 10 oz. This is 35th percentile for weight. (They didn't get his length this time, so I think later today I'll measure him on my own.) Last time he was weighed he was 58th percentile, but he was also getting some formula then, and formula fed babies are a bit beefier than breastfed babes. Dr. Z wasn't concerned, and noted that Leo is just a "long and lean guy."

Four shots!? OUCH! I hope he won't run a fever from them.
If we only knew what was the true case of autism and why it is on the rise...so sad and scary. You really can't tell until after age two, or three, because it can still show up at any time before then.
It's good you are getting the shots done more quickly.. less "trauma" for you and Leo, although I'm sure you both did great! :)
I still can't believe those autism/vaccination studies were falsified. So sad for so many reasons. UGH!
