A member asked:
One of the mothers in our group does not vaccinate her children. should i avoid my children being around her children?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should consider it: This mom , apparently, is more than happy to allow her kids to be open to diseases such as measles, mumps and pertussis(whooping cough) if exposed. This increases the risk for your kids.These infections have been on the increase in your part of the country, partially due to people like your friend.Express your fears and encourage her to do the responsible thing.

Baby won't eat properly during the day, after 4-5 mins turns head from mother and start crying. ( We fed him after 2.5-3h ) He is 2.5 months old. He eats calmly only during night when he is half awake. This last few days, after he got vaccinated?
