My daughter was home birthed in 1980 by a doctor and midwife. Was an extraordinary experience. We were fairly well into natural health (as the home birth might suggest) and didn't get roped into this 'well visit' business. The doctor never even mentioned vaccination to my memory. We did get her the MMR shot at about 1yr but as we began to get up to speed on vaccines by then she never got another and we navigated her through public school (her REAL downfall however come middle school) vaccine free and with no more doctor visits I can recall.
I had to look up this 'well visit' thing just now reading this and was absolutely astonished and horrified.

The nerve of the "Bright Futures"/AAP calling this site "healthy children.org".

Absolutely criminal now that we KNOW.

Nothing more than a hustle to get in young parent's doors to poison their children and damage them for LIFE.

You did an amazing job especially for back then. I learned in 2002 about it and at that time I had a 9 year old that had his vxs up to kindergarten. As a baby he had the yellow boogers all the time and ear infection almost to the point of getting tubes put in. My 2 sons now have never had even one and child lead weaning off the breast and have only been sick 3 times in their life which they naturally got better within 3 days every time.

You are right on with the well-baby visits! They're more like train-parents visits as they're trying to train you to get used to the vx schedule just to make money. But they are taught they're doing 'good' and they never question it. It's a sick practice and now they're doing it in other countries too like Vietnam. These moms think they're doing a good thing for their babies and they're only poisoning them. Thanks for sharing! It's nice to find others.

I can thank my wife for the home birth and support for the natural approach to things.
We had never discussed having kids the 7 years or so we were together before we got married. Hadn't occurred to me as the late comer baby of my family and I was such a spontaneous-in-the-moment sort; aka 'hippy musician' and all that went with that. But once married I wanted to have 'kids' - sure right?
Well she was the oldest of 10 and was not eager at all to have 'any'. She finally agreed to have 'one' .. IF we could home birth. Well we found 'one' doctor in St Louis who still did that and he even had his own midwife he worked with. And then somehow our insurance even paid for it (long interesting story) so we were set.
The funny thing was 'normally' a birth involved that unexpected 'rush to the hospital'. Well we were at a scheduled doctor's visit when labor started so we had to 'rush home' .. ;)
Was quite a day. Beautiful, HOT (no ac we were poor folk in a 2nd flr apt), 6 hr labor.
