Mine just had her tuesday. Ahe did pretty well. She screamed for a few mins after but then calmed down. I took her to the mall so we could walk around with her in the stroller for a little while. She always sleeps that way. She seemed a little fussy later in the evening so i gave her a dose of tylenol.
Her pedi said these shots are usually tolerated well. Its the next set that bothers them more.
Good luck mama!!

I'm anxious as well, going in 2h. I'll try to feed LO during the procedure if they let me and I also bought infant Tylenol, it should help with the pain.

It definitely does help with the pain. I think they get more upset from the shock of it to be honest

Thank you! I also always go for walks at the store and always falls asleep

We had ours this morning. The shots themselves were finished shockingly fast. I didn't even realize the nurse had done all 3 until she started putting on band-aids! She screamed while it was being done and for a few minutes after and then was okay. I agree that I think it's more shock than pain. And lo was just confused by the oral one.

She's been a bit sleepier so far today. She did wig out for about 30 minutes (about 5 hours later) so I gave her some Tylenol and she calmed down. I think it was more a tired and hungry combo.

Be ready to breastfeed or bottle feed right after shots! Calmed my baby down.

He's currently napping, but stirring a lot with an uncomfortable look on his face. It didn't help that the pediatrician was running late with the appointments and he got overtired during the whole visit My arms are sore from rocking him for ~2h in there. He calmed quickly after the shots when I picked him up and took the oral one like a champ, better than the daily vitamin D drops The leaflets we got say that 1 in 3 kids will be fussier and 1 in 4 will develop a low-grade fever, so I'm preparing for this.
