That said, I have one child who is definitely ADHD . . . he could be the poster child, in fact. Medication was a tremendous help in grade school, but he hasn't needed it in high school as he is more mature and able to use strategies to work around his learning disabilities. And no, nobody got any Xtra $$ because he was in private school . . .
It's silly for newborns to receive immunizations -- they have mom's immunity for quite awhile, and retain some as long as they're breastfeeding. But the DPT and the polio vaccine are old as the hills and can be safely administered in the 2-8 month range. My daughter had a high temperature on the second DPT dose, but an anxious night with the Tylenol and warm sponge baths and it was over. Diphtheria and whooping cough are far, far worse . . . especially in babies under a year old. And tetanus . . . once you see the symptoms you're a dead critter, no matter your age or your species. I saw a horse die from tetanus once, no thanks.
The newer vaccines I don't know much about, since my kids are older they don't directly concern me. But it seems that the early doses of HepB vaccine are mostly recommended for babies whose mothers test positive for HepB . . . and that would seem to be QUITE sensible . . . .
That and being a Saggitarrius has makes for particular 'challenges'/lol.
