Is a Newborn Immunization Schedule Right for Your Baby?

As my husband was sorting through all the cards and paperwork that we brought home from the hospital along with our new son, Todd, I heard him sigh. Thinking that he was probably as tired as I was, I suggested he catch a nap. Then he told me that he was looking at the recommended newborn immunization schedule that he found in all the doctor's instructions.

Apparently his childhood friend had suffered bad side effects from one of the vaccines in what was a very rare instance. That led us to a discussion about our own son's newborn immunization schedule. I think we are going to check into this a bit more before we simply accept this as the only way to go. Who knew parenting could be so filled with major decisions, even for newborns!
