Immunisation Curiosity

Suddenly i am sooo concern about this MMR vaccination
kenapa?
sebab my BFF out of the blue mengelaborate pasal the possible 'danger' of MMR
(measles, mumps & rubella) yang budak2 akan kena bile sampai 12 bulan.
so her daughter and my son are scheduled for this jab dalam bulan depan.
and she, being the protective mother started googling about the vaccination - the good and the bad
rupenye memang macam2 spekulasi pasal MMR ni.

i never know about these things (well, dulu memang ade dengar2 but i couldnt care less lah mase tu belum kahwen pun lagi)

so now, dah terjebak sikit
i started reading about it
and boy! giler banyak info yang masuk all at one time
some say it is fine ( that every babies should and recommended to get semua vaccination ikut jadual)
and some swear they never get vaccination for their kids and they turn out well. some claim their un-vaccination kids lagi healthy.

now, it is actually all up to your choice as a parent(s).
i was having doubts la of course after reading those creepy ingredients dalam MMR
tapi when i think about it, dari dulu pun semua orang amik jab ni, and alhamdulillah, okay je
kalau idak tak kan lah government pun recommend semua babies not to miss their vacs kan

anyway, to tell you the truth, dulu2 masa i kecik pun, banyak kali jugak lah miss jabs
sebab tok umi jidan busy kerja
so selalu miss
but i dont know which i missed
yang pasti memang ade. if i am not mistaken, BCG mase baby tu pun tak dapat kot
sebab dulu lahir kat private clinic. lepas2 tu clinic tu tutup pulak

and my dad was like against these things
katenye kerja yahudi.. haha
tak tau lah

but i turned out sihat all the way Alhamdulillah
so, adakah diri ini life proof that u dont really need vaccinations?
tak kot
jangan tiru adegan ni pulak

to all mothers (new mothers) out there
below are some links that i found useful and actually made me decide not to miss MMR for Zidan

it safe to immunise my child?
childhood deseases and their vaccines
common worries about immunisation

tapi kalau ada yang berpendapat (dan dah betul2 buat research and know the consequences  of not taking vacs) lain, feel free to share your experience.
after all, we have the right to choose whats the best for our kids
samalah macam kes to cloth diaper or not cloth diaper (i am part time cloth diaper user)
or to put salt/sugar in our baby's food or not (i dont give salt/sugar to Zidan)
to babywear or go for the good old stroller (i babywear zidan. tapi lately his baba malas nk carry him)

til then, tata!
