New review of birth Hep B vaccination "found strong evidence for the safety and effectiveness of the birth dose, and no improved safety or effectiveness with a delayed first dose. We found no evidence to support use of post-vaccination serology. Infant vaccination has resulted in a 99% reduction in pediatric HBV infections; we found no evidence to support a change in vaccine recommendations but identified potential health consequences."

Teaching your baby sign language can help with communication and minimize frustration in your 12-18 month old's. We recommend starting around 6-7 months with using signs for commonly used words/phrases but your child will not be able to sign back until 9-12 months. You can start with signs to help them communicate such as more, all done, milk, up, down, etc.

Here is an article from healthy children about baby sign that will help you get started:
