Hi, my baby is 10 month old now. I have been consulting one paediatrician for my baby for regular visits and vaccination. had to consult another recently due to an emergency in the mid night. What baffles me is the vaccination chart these two paediatricians follow. they are vastly different. So I was wondering if there is an IPO/WHO approved vaccination chart that one must follow?

Thanks Rebecca for the link to chart. I agree with you that optional vaccinations could be helpful too. Even we have weight concerns with my baby, she was weighing 6.5kg at the end of 9 months (according to weight chart 3 percentile is 6.8kg). Paediatrician though isn't as concerned with weight as we are. Everytime we raise the concern that baby is below 3 percentile, he always asks a few questions like milestones for the age, how active is the baby and then says one of the parent must have been like this and not to worry. I still have serious concerns with baby weight though.

<span style="color:#3B5998;"><b><a href="http://app.babychakra.com/article/2556">Vaccination Chart: A Boon For Newborns</a></b></span> these are the WHO approved vaccines but not all the vaccination are mandatory. So its upto you. When my daughter was born we had a different paed and his vaccination chart had mimum vaccines and he kept saying all other vaccines are not required etc, i was consulting him for 8 months but after that i did not like him because he was behind my daughter's weight and gave me unnecessary stress. So I changed to another one and he wanted my daughter to give all the vaccination. So now I follow his instruction, I did not wanted to take any risk so giving all. So you decide.
