5 weeks

Our little Willa bean is 5 weeks old today and we braved the snow to make it to her 1month Dr. apt!! Before she was not on the charts for weight at 5lbs and now she is 7lbs 4oz and in the 5th percentile! She was 10 percentile for height at 18 1/4inches but that went down to 3 percentile today at 19 1/2inches (she is now the size of the average newborn!!). She in in the 11th percentile with her head circumferential at 14inches! Willa will not be getting any shots until she is at least 6 months old and we will not be giving her any and every shot either. I have done my research and for me and my family this is the best thing for us. I am excited that I have found a doctor that supports these decisions and also helps me understand what is important for us based on our lifestyle! She is a holistic pediatrician and we are so excited she is overseeing our little baby! She did say that the skin is a window into her health and that Willa's skin is perfect which means she is a supper healthy baby!

    you are doing the best things with the shots... Non of my 3 kids have ever had 1 single shot they are 17 15 and 11 and are the healthy kids you will ever see. keep up the research she doesnt need any of them and they can NOT make you do it.

    i feel the same way about shots- we dont have children but I am very concerned about the shots for new babies. I think you are making a great decision :)
