Immunizations
One of the first health considerations you will need to make for your baby is whether or not immunization is the right thing for your child. It is recommended that children recieve MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella), DTP, meningitis whooping cough and polio and Hib vaccines. While many parents won't think twice about taking their child for her shots because they view vaccines as necessary, others are adamantly against the idea. If you plan to have your children immunized, then take a look at Immunization Scheudle to find out when your children are due for their shots.
