Alex got 2 vaccines today, the DTaP and the oral one for Rotavirus. He wasn’t impressed with the taste of the Rotavirus liquid, but he didn’t even flinch when he got the DTaP shot. Obviously he got his fearlessness from me, since we all know how Greg reacted to his shots when he was a kid
We’re breaking up the vaccines according to the alternate schedule in The Vaccine Book. According to our pediatrician, a lot of parents are asking for this alternate schedule. I do meet Moms who tell me they love their pediatrician, and just do whatever the Doctor recommends. Personally, I respect my pediatrician, and do what she recommends if I’ve researched it and decided that it makes sense.
Alex got his first bite of pear today, both in pear mush and chunk form. His favorite fruit seems to be banana, apple second, pear third. He’s also tried Asian pear, but he spit most of that out.
