<<A client whom I have approached ( her baby is now 3wks old and not

had his immunisations. I thought this was inappropriate information. I
do recall that immunisations continue on for many months!
The experience of rebirthing would be out the window or down the drain
( pardon the pun)
I would like some views on this please. Thanks Dianne>>
Did you mean the G.P. want her to wait til the first immunization at ~2mo.
before using rebirthing? If that is the case, my laughter is justified!
Baby already *HAS* been receiving his 1st immunization - br milk (assuming
mom is using EBM). Also mom has long since colonized baby with her normal
flora - a bath together at 3 weeks is hardly a concern. Immunizations (here
in the US) continue throughout babyhood into the 2nd year of life with
boosters just before entering school. If I'm understanding this correctly,
it sounds like the advice should go down the drain! (I like your pun!)
