Do you ever get what you are asking for?  You hold off feeding your child baby food, other then that little bit you snuck, until your baby is 6 months old because your doctor clams "there just not ready yet." 

Parents are often led to think that there breast milk is just not enough or not efficient enough to satisfy there child.  But the truth. Less than 5% of the Us can medically not breastfeed. But over 77% of all mothers choose to formula feed.  Something seems a little wrong in those numbers. If a mother breast fed for 6 months she would save over 1000$; if you breast feed for a year about 2000$; and over a year just imagine. Not only does breast feeding save money but it saves lives.  Majority of "SIDS" or infant death rates are in formula fed children. if just 70% of women breastfed until 6 months of age it would save over 900 lives. Of & did you know if you breast feed you have less of a chance to get breast cancer? Well now your sitting here thinking 'I formula fed all my children and they are just fine.' Yes, that may be the case not every family is touched by issues, but wouldn't we want to help the families that have suffered but gaining some type of knowledge threw out our every day lives..

 Monthly at first, than every few months you inject your child because doctor says "that is whats best." But do you know anything about what (s)he is putting into your child? Or did you know most things you vaccinate are not deadly to you or your child.. Lets choose one or two. Ill pick it apart for you, well start to.

     Well to Start the MMR vaccine also known as Measles, Mumps, Rubella. You give this to your child at 12 months and 18; Hm. wonder why the first one just didn't work.. Measles is an infection. It causes fever, cough, rash, runny nose, and watery eyes. Mumps cause fever, head aches and swelling of the checks and jaw. Rubella also know as the German measles is the mildest of them all rarely having a rash, causing fever, sore throat, and swelling of the glands.  Now your really question me huh. You were told they could kill you.  If managed right all three things are easy taken care of.  It is if you let your child go so long they develop more.  If you let measles go to long your child could develop pneumonia and yes your child will most likely be hospitalized, but only for they things they have addition to actual MMR. Okay now getting to what side effects are publicized that you most likely do not know.  Children can get fevers so high that they result in convolutions, swelling of the glands, Meningitis(what should that even have to do with mmr?,) rash, sore joints even arthritis, and blood clotting. Now for the even more under informed part, the ingredients. First off its a LIVE VIRUS..it has one antibiotic in it neomycin. One heavy metal sorbitol. And THREE animal by products hydrolized geleatin, chick embryonic fluid, and human diploid cells from ABORTED FETAL TISSUE. How many of you knew any of that? Check my facts please. Now do you wonder what else your 'oh so wonderful' dr. does not tell you?

     Now I said I would do two. How about the Varivax? Oh don't know what that is.. hmm its a vaccine against chickenpox.. This is actually my first time looking in to this one. Okay chickenpox is simply a fever and a rash, in rare cases it can cause breathing problems, brain damage, and death.  The rare cases are in newborns (a child under 6 weeks of age) or an adult. You get the vaccine around 12 months of age then again at 4(once again the first dose wasn't good enough?) (that doesn't even 'protect' you for part of the rare cases as a new born.) Side effects are severe breathing problems, seizures, burning and bruising of the skin, extreme weakness, behavior problem, extremely high fever, rash, runny nose, sore throat, headache, insomnia, nausea, diarrhea. Now wondering what is actually in the vaccine? Well I am getting there. First off it is a LIVE virus they are injecting you with. It has neomycin as the antibiotic. As for heavy metals it has phosphate, sucrose, and monosodium glutamate(MSG). And for the animal by product in this vaccine there are 5; processed gelatin, FETAL bovine serum, GUINEA PIG embryo cells, albumin from HUMAN BLOOD, and HUMAN diploid cells from ABORTED FETAL TISSUE. Still wondering why your doctor never told you any of that arnt you, oh and 20% still get severe chickenpox after being fully vaccinated.

Now that everyone thinks I am fully insane. Choosing this as my first blog for my family's page. But let me refer back. To me saying I often here people say "let me raise my own child" but are you really raising your child or are you listing to those other people? Are you educating your self enough to know what is being introduced to your child or are you doing what our 'oh so wonderful' government suggests?

My next blog will refer more about me, my family, our decisions, but I felt this was necessary and needed to be placed out there before you could begin to understand our way of life.

This will be my (and family) past, present, and future. If you have any questions feel free to ask me.

Lets see. My family lives in Ohio. Me and Johnny are high school sweet hearts. We are regular people struggling threw this crazy world just making time to stop and smell the flowers.

My first born.  His name is Jeremy Joesph Ray. He was born May 9, 2011. I was 19 years young. (pregnant when I was 18.) I was not a percentage. I took care of my family, my child went every where with me by choice.  I would have had it no other way. He was standing on his own at 3 months old, eating food at 6 weeks old, still on formula, in disposable diapers, crib slept at least 5 hours at a time, and fully vaccinated.  Jeremy took his last breath September 3, 2011 Just six days shy of four months.  We were told that is was SIDS. That could be anything they cant explain. It left me, and my family with a ton of unanswered questions.  So I started opening a lot of books searching a ton of web pages.

My second child will arrive somewhere around June 2012. His name will be Bentley Joesph Ray. I will be 20 years old. My child will be fed food as soon as he shows interest, breast fed as long as interested, hybrid and cloth diapered, co-slept, and mostly unvaccinated if not fully unvaccinated.

A lot of my choices have changed not because I am so young, but because I have opened my eyes and started educating my self. My choices are my choices please respect my decisions.  I would only do what I felt was right for my child.  For my family.  Do not judge us as we will not judge you. I am still educating my self in every factor of my decision and I will until the day I no longer stand on this earth. Please follow my blog for information, support, and mostly to see how my complete change of life pans out.
