caffeine? absolutely not. only a fool would give caffeine to a baby. as far as the milk is concerned an 8 month old should be on formula (not milk) so it could be a soy-based formula or one that is lactose-free. flu vaccine? the feb shot may have been last season's vaccine but a child is really not supposed to get their first flu vaccine until after six months of age. the first time we often give them a 1/2 dose and then give another 1/2 dose a month later. since i don't know the medical facts i am not exactly sure what she received but i can tell you that it is safe.
i need to know what all of the dangers are for giving an 8 month old caffeine & 2 flu shots w/in 8 months please. we recently found out that my 8 mo. old granddaughter is being given mt. dew coffee & even cow's milk when she's lactose intolerant. she also rcvd her 1st flu shot at birth in feb yet her father had them give her another one this week. i need the facts on the dangers this all poses please
