Here's an idea, establish a good rapport with your Pediatrician and get their honest opinion. You'd be amazed at what information you can get by just asking
Tried that with our first Ped but she didn't want to hear any of it and just towed the company line and pushed the vacs, plus she was kinda crazy anyway.
Left her and went to another in the practice is who more than willing to talk about things and understands why some people have issues and has no problem with a delayed altered schedule.

So in my dealings with these people, they are enormous hypocrites and you can't have a reasonable discussion with them.
Well when you are dealing with extreme close minded people on any issue this is pretty much always the case. 90% of people on here hate the government but they are the same ones in favor of the government mandating vaccines. The hypocrisy works both ways.

Exactly the thing to do. People have to remember, you choose the Pedi not the other way around.

Trust me I know, my issue with them is they usually want nothing to do with any kid of discussion that negates their beliefs, but that pretty much goes for every tin foil hat wearing person regardless of which side they are on.

Prior to my 1st child we had a sit down with our "soon to be" Pediatrician to discuss what to expect. We discussed a number of things and vaccines were include. The Hep B caught my attention and I asked him why it was recommended right after birth. He said that was a relatively new change in the schedule at the time and when it happened the Drs weren't given much info on why it was moved up so early in schedule.
He informed me how HepB can be contracted (sexual activity is highest % which obviously is not a concern with a 1 day old) other than that it would be a freak thing especially if your kid was not to be in daycare at an extremely early age. He recommended it to be delayed to when he normally used to administer.
My wife had some vaccine concerns related to things she had read. He listened to her thoughts and had clear answers based on the vaccine research and his 20+ years as a Pediatrician. We had some concerns about multiple vaccines at 1 time in regards to if there was a side effect/reaction then how would we know the cause. He explained that we could easily alter the schedule to allow 1 vaccine at a time and still be in the ballpark time frame for being completely vaccinated. We had some concerns about the Chicken Pox vaccine and he gave us his feelings (see previous post on this).
IMO that is how the vaccine discussion should be handled.

Why on earth anyone would go to a woman Dr is beyond me
But can you tell me what the basis is for changing the schedule?

Here's the answer. Why people would bring their kid to a Ped they don't trust the kid's life with is beyond me. I had some concerns and talk to the professional I hired and trust to take care of my kids health.
