What to expect - 2m shots?

Question

My daughter is getting her two month shots today. What should I expect? I have Tylenol on hand in case. What was your LOs reaction? Cranky? Calm? TIA!

Answer

My son got his this past Monday. He cried for a short bit after but we had a pacifier on hand so that distracted him. He did spit up a little bit afterwards but he had ate prior to getting the shots. He Ran a low grade fever but not high enough to give him Tylenol. The next day was worse. He was fussy all day and cried everytime we changed his diaper. They say to use a cold rag on the spots where it's injected but he didn't really like that. Also, don't bundle baby up for the first few days. You don't want to increase the chance of the fever going above 104.

Answer

Screamed for a little while and got Tylenol for aim but was perfectly fine.

Answer

Mine screamed when they gave him the shots 😭 but stopped crying when I picked him up. We came home, he nursed for a long time. About 2 hrs after getting the shots he was obviously very uncomfortable so I gave him Tylenol. He nursed a lot, 4.5 hours later he was crying again so I gave him another dose. 4 hours later I gave him a preemptive dose and fed him and put him to bed. He slept all night (normal for him) and woke up the next day his normal cheerful self. His poop smelled awful for a couple days though...

Answer

Omg my daughter did not handle them well. All she did is sleep and cry for two days. Very little appetite. She also had a lump in her thigh from the injections for several weeks. I would definitely use Tylenol if needed.

Answer

The muscle in your baby legs are going to hurt . My have a fever.  Keep the Tylenol for the pain and maybe for the fever also.

Answer

My son was pretty cranky for a few days but he was back to his happy self after that. Immediately after I brought him home, I gave him a warm bath to let him kick his legs around to help with the soreness and then I gently rubbed his legs with lotion. If he was really fussy then I gave him Tylenol. Some baby will run a fever after shots. That's normal. Just their immune systems kicking in to the vaccines. And of course, lots of snuggling and I let him nurse as much as he wanted. Good luck! They aren't fun but it helps them in the long run.

Answer

My son cried for a few hours the first time, I did not give him any pain meds.  I'm trying not to give him any unless it's a emergency
