Vax question - 4 month shots

Jillsee

Hello hello!

Sorry to be redundant, just getting increasingly anxious about LOs shots Thursday.

Just wondering how everyones LOs reacted in comparison to their 2 month shots.

Baby J had an on and off fever treated with Tylenol (101.0 rectally) for around 48hrs after his two month shots. Three pokes and one oral.

Curious to see if anyone had a better time with 4 month. Also curious to see if reactions are standard, like, if he got a fever he probably always will...or does it vary?

Thanks in advance!

Yes. LO wasn't the least bit fussy in the evening after the 4 mo. But they were later in the day so I don't know if that had an effect.

My son had no problem with the 2 mo shots and was miserable 24 hrs after the 4 mo shots.

LO was exact same. Fussy later than earlier. However, he STILL has knots on his legs and it has been 22 days.

DD had a great afternoon/evening after her 4 mo shots, but didn't sleep well at all that night.  I also noticed that one of the knots in her leg was harder this time.  But I wouldn't say they were worse this time.

J is fussier this time around.

DD2 was in a lot of discomfort this time around compared to her 2 month shots. I gave her pain reliever : fever reducer and she was back to her normal self within a couple hours

I didn't notice any reaction, no fever or extra sleepiness, etc. after the 2 month shots. Both girls had low-grade fevers the morning after the 4 month shots. Neither slept well after the 4 month shots, either. In fact, E hasn't slept well at night since!

When LO got her 2 months she was sleepy all day and night. 

She got her 4 months this morning and actually took short naps today, but has been sleeping since 6 pm and that is unusual. 

Luckily no fever's or extra fussiness either time. 

I feel SO bad for you guys in the US having to get all those extra pokes...brutal

My DS did much better with his 4 month shots. He cried less and wasn't nearly as fussy. With his 2 months I swear I nursed him for hours the evening after, but other than a longer than normal nap, he was fine after his 4 month.

She wasn't any worse with the four months than the 2 month - just a little more fussy and sleepy than usual.  It was worse for me because there is a shortage of the Pentacel, so she had to get four shots instead of two.

Thank you all for sharing! Seems like there is no rhyme or reason to their individual reactions. Really hoping and praying he doesn't get a fever again. The fussiness is scary too (he cries so hard he has a hard time catching his breath) but I totally understand...it has to be sore! My Tdap site was sore for a few days...and that was just one shot. Thanks again for all the input!
