I went for a baby check up last week with my little one and I was handed a consent form for an online immunization registry from the receptionist. I signed it without discussing it with my husband because I thought having the record would be a good thing, since I plan on giving her most of the shots according to a modified schedule. When I spoke to my husband he felt that her medical records should not be online because insurance company could always use it against her. His argument made me extremely worried about my decision.
If you haven’t been to the pediatrician’s office in a couple months your doctor’s receptionist might hand you a consent form on your next doctor’s appointment. Visit CAIR to learn more, so you can accept or reject that form without feeling pressured to make a decision right away.
In my on going concern of protecting my bean from all possible harm, I realized that even with all my planning and provisioning, I would not be able to cover every inevitable harmful scenario. The result of this mental exercise, I need to learn infant CPR.
RED CROSS
I start my search with The American Red Cross. The American Red Cross offers an online course

I also found some other online resources:

onlinebabycpr.com also offers a free course
In case anyone is interested, I have spent some time spreading out my little bean’s vaccination schedule. To create my vaccination schedule, I used the following lists. 1. Standard vaccine schedule, 2. The Vaccine Book, 3. Vaccine schedule followed by 10th Street Pediatrics in Santa Monica, and 4. Vaccine schedule followed by UCLA Pediatrics group in Santa Monica. I decided to vaccinate her fully, except for Rota vaccine. This is because I don’t plan on sending my little bean to daycare any time soon. If anyone wants a pdf version of the list, please email me.
