It is quite normal to have your own opinion, especially in relation to the process of raising your children, and we live in a free society where everyone can speak out, but you need to feel responsible. Not all views are safe, and social networks, where influencers spread them all, are underestimated, and even the younger generation is starting to talk about this more often https://edubirdie.com/examples/social-media/ and it’s great. According to my observations, sometimes the problem is not even in the bloggers themselves, but in their audience, which can make the influencer’s opinion absurd, as shown in the article, people die from surgical interventions. but this is not a reason to refuse them.

We are all different and honestly we all need to use our own brains.
My question to anti vaxers is…. Were you vacinated as a child? I was and it caused zero negative impact in my life. Be very careful following the words of someone who has not done credible research to back their claims.

I think social media can be dangerous full stop.

I think social media s dangerous to anyone who doesn’t think critically.

This is where the problems of Social Media come in to play. Its fine for people to have their own opinion, but for heavens sake keep it yourself.

I don’t follow social media and even if I did I wouldn’t take on board any suggestions by bloggers when it comes to raising children. I have always followed my own instincts or sought the advice of professionals.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I wouldn’t follow a blogger when it came to the welfare of my children.

I do think these messages are damaging. Many people trust in verything some influencers say. I would only ever trust medicine and science and be totally guided by my OB and GP. I would not want unvaccinated children near mine.

After a fairly intense reaction to whooping cough vaccine (pertussis?) my brother didn’t continue his course for this frightening disease. He received every other one of his vaccine’s and as the synthetic whooping cough vaccination was now available he went and got it just prior to my bub being born as we’d had a cousin her lost her daughter to this horrid horrid thing and there was no way he was risking my bub.
It’s her choice yes but don’t for heaven’s sakes blog about it as though you are an expert.
What would she feel like if she had been exposed to someone with rubella while she was pregnant!

I have an immunocompromised child who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons. He spent, 6 months in hospital as a baby in an isolated room because if he caught anything he would most likely die. I have to rely on other people to vaccinate their children, to keep mine safe. He is fairly healthy now, it has taken 3 1/2 years to get to this point, but he still can’t be vaccinated. If he caught something that was on the vaccine list, ,he would most likely end up back in hospital for who know how long.
Everyone has a right to an opinion and everyone has the right to make choices for their children, but social media can make it a “trend”. My child’s life is worth more than that

This is ridiculous, I would much prefer to vax my children against the things I can. My children were born prematurely and were extra vulnerable so herd immunity was a god send

I do hope she isn’t listed to and followed by too many others – I would hate to see polio or small pox and whooping cough wipe out a complete generation of children with such suffering. Maybe she wants to save the planet by having less children live in the future.

It’s not dangerous for them to say what they want to do. Every one needs to do what’s right for them, I didn’t want to get my son vaccinated when he was a baby but was convinced by the maternal health nurse to do it. Does anyone know what’s in these vaccines? That’s the real concern.

We all do what we think is best for our children……..but sometimes science is right. I hope her babies don’t catch anything that could have been prevented.

i hope that for her and her children’s sake that they don’t come into contact with any of the re-emerging virus’s like whopping cough etc.

It really is a selfish thing to do for your children – I have no doubt in my mind that her parents would have vaccinated her to protect her from dying of something that is preventable by a simple injection!, why would you not want to protect your babies from that?

I think that any new parent should read Roald Dahl’s testimonial about measles and his child.
Anti-vaxxers want to do what’s best for their kids. But if like this celebrity, you don’t trust hospitals, well… i hope you still take your child there for check ups

There are people who are pro vaccination and people who”re against this. Nothing new. They’re free to make their own decisions. I don’t think that sharing their opinion on social media is dangerous

I would hope that most parents would take the advice of professionals rather than ‘celebrity bloggers’.

I worry and hope for her kids sake they do not get very ill or diseases that could’ve been prevented from vaccines. People who say the kids deserve it from her actions should be ashamed.

I wonder what types of nappies she is not going to use. She could always use the “old fashioned” cotton towelling ones. The modern washable nappies that were around about 6 years ago are not what they “cracked up” to be. They are hard to get dry in cold damp weather. The outer parts are not suitable to in a clothes dryer. The “pads” that fit in them take a lot longer to dry than the other part does. You definitely need more of the padding part than the other part.
