And I'm freaking out.  I've heard horror stories about the 2 month shots.  Give me some advice and positive reinforcement!  THANKS!  GO!!

    DS got his last week.  Screamed for about 30 seconds while getting them.  Then pursed his lips in the Ooo face and stared out the window.  Guy was a champ and mind you, sick with a cold at the time.  Didn't run a fever from them or anything.  His legs were sore though so had to be careful and the warm bath helped a lot with that.  DD's experience was about the same although I think she cried for about 30 seconds longer.  I think it's the 4 mos shots where the fever tends to spike -- at least that is how it was for DD.

    I can't help you, we have ours on Friday. We're doing the Dr. Sear's alternative schedule though, so I doubt it will be as bad as the traditional since he's only getting two.?

    But I guess you can always put your faith in history (millions of babies have had them and done fine) and Tylenol. That's what I plan to do! ?

    Older DD whimpered, and I cried.  I cried when she got all of them.  I cried when LO got her first HepB shot when she was a week old.  I cried when DD got her shots for school this year.....lol.  She's 6 and she was telling the doctor "I am so brave, you can give me those shots!"  Then she saw the needles.  I had to hold her arms.  It was horrible.

    Older DD got a fever with the 4 month shots, but not the 2 months.  With LO we are going to alternate them.,

    I know its not what you want to hear, but I cried so much at my sons 2 month shots.  He is just such a good baby, and to sit there and see him in pain was horrible.  But he was fine within just a few mintues, and he never ran a fever aor acted like he was hurting later that day, he did sleep alot but they told me he would be doing that.  I got back in a few weeks for the second round at 4 months...not looking forward to it!  Honestly though, it will probably upset you more than your child, it did me!
