How did other new parents prepare for infant vaccine visits and find resources?

[EvelynIL]

I'm a new parent trying to navigate the recommended pediatric vaccines schedule for my infant, and while I trust our pediatrician, I'm feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of shots and the conflicting information I find online about their safety and timing. I want to make informed decisions to protect my child, but I'm also anxious about potential side effects and the discomfort of so many appointments. For other parents who have recently gone through this, how did you prepare for and manage the vaccination visits to minimize stress for your baby, and what reliable resources did you use to better understand the benefits and risks of each vaccine beyond the standard handout from the clinic?
