Thank you for this! I think my challenge is going to be able to find a pediatrician in my community that would be okay with a plan like yours. Many around me refuse to take you as a patient if you delay only one vaccine. I’ve managed to evade this by showing that other countries don’t even do the hep B vaccine until 2 months which the doctor agreed with… but now my only option would be to skip the 2 months appointment in 2 weeks and start looking for another pediatrician that would be okay with delay/spreading out the shots.

I'm pretty sure that the timing of of wellness checks is based on the vaccine schedule (not on what the child would otherwise need).
That's why there are more and more of those check up appointments as shots are added to the schedule. When I was a child, we saw the pediatrician maybe once/year, and before that it was probably even less frequent.
In any case, it's a tricky balance! Best wishes as you navigate it.
