What vaccines are give to babies at birth? Do they really need some of the vaccines? I guess I'm…

they usually do a first does of hep b.

You can decline it at the hospital.

What good does it do to get it that young?

@babybearblue2, @beebaby, @rebeccca3009,

@annekam1022, I decided to let them give it to my daughter at the hospital the less diseases I have to worry about the better.

There's some that are probably a good idea and some that you can definitely skip. I got them all for my son because he was preemie and I just didn't want to risk anything.

I think nowadays Hep B is the most important vaccine among all of them. I am planning to make only Hep B.

@beebaby, Hep B is spread by blood and body fluids. It is less likely that infected person have a chance to infect infant if parents make sure that no people kiss the child.

I just feel like it's not necessary. I don't want to over load his body right after he's born. I'm gonna talk to my ob at my next appointment about it. So she can tell me the risks and benefits of getting it.

I don't have a pediatrician not yet anyways

@beebaby, but pregnant woman is tested for Hep during pregnancy, and if she does not have this disease this means her boyfriends also does not have, because otherwise both of them will be infected.

We both don't have it. That's why I don't see it necessary.

The second they are born they get a vitamin kind of shot... I think vitamin a?... I could be wrong... It helps to fight jondice... ( i cant spell right now to save my life)...
