Vaccine concerns
I could probably write a book about how frustrated and confused i am. I have always trusted doctors, always found them to be kind and honest. I followed the advice my 2 years old pediatrician. Until he became underweight and developed eczema. I remember being told to incorporate more meals with dairy and lean meats. Nothing helped, until i did my own research and discovered the link between animal products and disease. If I can't trust my doctor about nutrition, what about vaccines? I am lost

Hi... Not all children develop allergy or disease after meat or milk products... Most children are doing well on meat and milk foods... Some children may not tolerate cow's milk or specific meats... Not all information in the internet is true... And even if true it may not be applicable to your case... As far as Vaccines are concerned many of the Vaccines have saved many lives and have contributed much to the well being. .. There are some rare side effects for the Vaccines ... So it's risk vs benefit... Vaccine schedules are available for each country...in India it is by Indian academy of pediatrics... Pls see the website for details...
Next Steps
Pls see a Pediatric Gastroenterologist regarding your child's underweight and eczema
