I had a lot more time to research that way too. I've posted a ton of links in the Vaccine forum.
I'm glad you have some family here. We were the oldest in our Bradley class, Bradley is what started me down this path of holistic living, actually.
We were living near South Park, so I went to a different La Leche group. Several of my friends go to the Ballantyne one.
Hope to meet you soon.

Moving while very pregnant is its own Olympic Event! Have you all lived here long? Do you have a support system, family here, friends to visit and help with moving/baby/meals after birth?? I attended La Leche for five months before our son was born to actually meet and see how to breastfeed. I'm so glad I had that mother to mother support. You might want to get connected with the local LLL asap. Those mamas became my support system with this new adventure into motherhood.
We see Dr. Dino Kanelos. He has an office in Ballantyne and Weddington. He is respectful of parent's choices about selective, delayed, or refusal of vaccinations. There aren't many who don't PUSH you to fully vaccinate exactly according to their schedule. Vaccination would be where I'd spend my time researching, now. It is hard to do after the baby, due to sleep needs. Kanelos is pro-vaccination, but he'll discuss each one with you. He is a family practice physician, MD. Pediatricians often feel they must follow the AAP recommendations about vaccination without discussion.
Congratulations on joining motherhood! I love being our son's mom. :-D
Hope to meet you soon.
