Our pediatrician told us it's okay to delay the Hep B due to natural breastfeeding immunity. The hospital staff actually were the ones to first advise us that we had the choice to defer all shots. They were also really chill about the eye drops and their protocol was not use the drops for at least several hours so the baby could latch and see us. They also offered the option of skipping the goop and applying breast milk.

They didn't have the option for the liquid vitamin K though, unfortunately, but not because they were against it. In fact they received several requests for it and we're aware of its advantages vs the injection.

Really it all boils down to being intelligent and selecting your providers.
