Anyones DC start vaccinations at 1 month old?
My pediatricians office starts the vaccinations at 1 month old rather than at 2 months. Instead of doing like the 2, 4, 6 month schedule they basically give some of the vaccinations every month so that it isn't so many at one time. So I think that when we go next week for our 1 month we will get 1-2 vaccinations and then at the 2 month get the remaining that are required for that time.
But now I am concerned because I was looking at the official american pediatric schedule, and it said the minimum age to receive these shots is 6 weeks old.
Did anyone elses doctor follow this schedule?

I have heard of doctors spreading the vaccines out over monthly visits (ours did this also), but I have never heard of anyone starting at one month of age.
Personally, I would put it off to two months. I don't even think the CDC recommends shots before this.

Earliest I have ever heard is 6 weeks. I would not do it before then.
