2 month vaccinations?

jeffrae

did you give LO childrens tylonel or anything like that afterwards?  I am so nervous for her!

stella got hers in the nicu.  they dosed her with tylenol before & after & she did just fine.  at the time she was super tiny & fragile (like 5 pounds or something) & did great.  just a little sleepy for a few days.  her 4 month vaccinations are next week in fact!  plan on maybe nursing her in the office after the shots to comfort her.  i have heard this helps.

I didn't give Tylenol before (didn't even have any in the house) and DS screamed for 6 hours straight that afternoon. I did give Tylenol before 4 month shots (same ones) and had no problems. Coincidence? Probably! But Tylenol is so benign - I would give one dose before and a second 4-6 hours later.

Nope! She cried for just a minute..I nursed her right after. That afternoon/evening she was sleepy and just a tad fussy. Nothing too bad! Good luck, hope she does ok!

Ditto-I am doing an alternative vaccine schedule though, he only got his DTAP and Rotavirus, don't know if that made a difference or not.

Yes, we gave it afterwards.  We were told not to give her anything before the shots.  And I nursed her after the shots and she was fine in a minute or two.  She did spike a little fever later that evening.

Thanks all!  so far she seems okay.  I nursed her right afterwards and I think that helped.
