BTDT $5.99 - 12m Shots?

Do 12m shots hit harder than the ones before? We had our 12m appt today, and Luke is super crabby and clingy and rosy-cheeked and has been sleeping fitfully on my chest for the last hour and a half - lately he usually barely takes an afternoon nap. Previous shots haven't really phased him.

  • Yep, MMR and chicken pox. They told me to watch for reactions 7-10 days later. :(

    He slept for 2 hours, woke up, saw Dad was home, all smiles. We'll see how tonight goes.

  • 12 mo was easier for us than a lot of the other ones, as I recall. But Marnie had pretty much stopped reacting to inoculations by then. My whole family has a very strong constitution, so as a whole we are seldom affected by inoculations. (Fingers crossed, knock on wood.)

  • Aw, poor Lucas. :( hope he feels better soon. I've also heard that the MMR one is a doozy too.
  • I haven't been through it yet, but when I scheduled his 12 month appt the receptionist asked when I was doing his party and made sure to schedule after that because she said the reaction was generally stronger and she didn't want him feeling bad for his party. I appreciate her kindness, but I'm a bit afraid of the shots now.

  • Yeah, my pedi warned us in advance that "it's the appointment where I know the parents all want to ask why I like making everyone miserable." I had to have my second MMR dose split up as a kid because I had a bad reaction, agreed with PPs that it's common to have. Reaction with that one.

  • Thanks everyone! After he woke up from that nap he seemed fine except not being as hungry as normal for dinner and a small spit-up before bed, which were probably more from eating so much yesterday than from shots. Slept beautifully, back to normal this morning.

  • In my experience yes. :((

    I'm sorry.
