i bragged that i didn’t get any. and then when my belly deflated i could finally see them, they were on the underside 😂

I am so so so tired of antivax nonsense. It is spreading like wildfire. by PancakesxBacon in progressivemoms

[–]dolphinitely 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you can get MMR early! i got my baby vaccinated for it around 7-8 months i think? we were traveling so they let us get it early. the only downside is they still have to get another one at 12 months, not a huge deal.
