I have spaced mine out as my son was deadly ill in hospital with an infection, pumped with antibiotics at 4/5 weeks old, so when he had his 8 weeks injections he was very very poorly. I spaced out the 3 months injections and gave them at 4 months instead, no adverse reaction at all, no temperature, no pain, I was so surprised. He is having his final lot of injections ( the 4 months ones) this week, and he is 6 months now. For me I preferred to space them out, my GP was absolutely fine with it.

Hi bumpy


my 6 month old had all of the injections at once and at the times they are recommended to have them, aside from his 4 month jabs which he had 2 weeks late as he had a pretty nasty cold. I avoided taking him out the day of the jabs and the day after because he was more tired and clingy than usual, apart from that no side effects.

Yes to immunisation. If people stop immunising then these diseases are going to start becoming common again. If you have to do either then delay rather than not immunise. My daughter had all her jabs at the recommended times and she had no ill effects at all, oh I forgot, one time she had a slight temperature which was brought down with calpol. she has also had her BCG, with no ill effects.
I remember briefly debating the same jabs you're talking about - mainly because my midwife and nct teacher had pointed out (rightly) that it was our decision as parents whether to have them or not. My mum pointed out the gravity of some of the illnesses these vaccines protect against and the penny dropped really, for me, so from then on we've gone with everything (apart from swine flue jab as just haven't had a cold-free moment to do it, and have prioritised the mmr).
Don't want to go into a full on debate, we have had some good threads about this topic in the past, but I do want to vote FOR immunising. Space them out or delay by a few weeks if your child doesn't seem very strong when the jab is due, but otherwise please do it for your child's and your community's sake.
always yes to immunisation. and while, yes, it is a parents right to choose to have them for their children or not, by choosing not to have the jabs you are increasing the risk to others' children as the diseases remain more prevalent. not sure about spacing them out - we had all ours at the recommended times and were fine - bit of a cold/temperature after one of them but was fine within 24 hours.
bumpy i'd ask a health professional, although i don't think that it makes a difference. i think, again only opinion not expert advice, that the idea is that they are fully immune in time for school. the dates are not important to the actual effectiveness, sequence of some yes, but not date of having jab. but i may be totally wrong...

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
