I’m having a little debate in my head.

Dear Doctor

I’m having a little debate in my head and am hoping you might be able to help with it. When you go to pregnancy classes, baby massage and baby swimming and things that are good for the child can be used but ONLY if the child themselves give you permission to do so.

Now I know and understand how to do that because I have been shown, but what I don’t get is WHY I went into the vaccinations for the baby, baby was sleeping and the nurse said that was good because they wouldn’t know, got the needle and jabbed and of course the baby screamed and woke up.

Please can you explain to me why the Covid and flu vaccinations for young children was something that was sprayed up their nose so they didn’t need injections and yet, as far as I can tell, there isn’t the same accommodation for babies vaccines?

Is this really giving your child the best? Could there be something less invasive? I know how I would feel if I woke to a needle being jabbed in my thigh!

I really would like some guidance on this.

Thanks
