I Want the Safest Newborn Immunization Schedule

If you're a new parent, you've probably already been doing some thinking about the controversy surrounding infant vaccinations. The typical newborn immunization schedule is really tight and heavy, with several different vaccines often given together. Those who are concerned, suggest that this is too much, too soon, and too close together.

Until we became pregnant with our firstborn son, I would not have given this much thought at all, but now I find myself wanting to protect him, not only from disease, but from complications from these vaccinations. If it is possible to stretch out the newborn immunization schedule and space these dosages in the process, I think that sounds much safer to me.
