Synagis Vaccine

BloggingTeach · March 2011

My health insurance company approved Kayden's March synagis vaccine. YAY! DD first vaccine was given in the NICU so I'm not sure what happened before or after. I imagine that she will be a little sore and cranky.

How was your DD/DS after getting this vaccine? Did you do anything before hand or after? TIA

my son has been getting the shot since nov and thankfully he's handled it pretty well. right when he gets the shot he does cry - A LOT. my H holds the baby with nurse and has the paci ready. once the shot is over i come in to hold and soothe and then he's totally fine. me, however i need a tequila shot.

it's very quick and he doesnt cry for long. also no tylenol required or anything. at least that's been the case for us.

I missed DD getting her in the NICU which I have to admit, I was fine with. We go next week for the 2nd one and I am not looking forward to it. I just hate hearing their little pain cries.

I think since it is more of an immune booster and not actually a vaccine, it may be less harsh for them? I could just be making that up but it seems less intrusive to their systems. A shot is a shot though and they are certainly a bit painful no matter what is in it!

Both my boys handled it well. They cried when they actually got the shot but were soothed easily. I didn't notice any other effects.

Andrew's had 4 so far, and never had any problems afterwards.

Yeah, he screams like he$$ when they give the shot, but he does the same thing with his vaccinations. I hate it, but know he needs it.

Thanks all! She did whimper right after the shot, but seems to be okay now. I tried to give her the paci, but she didn't take it. That wasn't so bad. I am terrible with needles, so I start to panic at the thought.

Thanks again!

Robbie cried for the injection at the stick, but calmed down right away (less than a minute) and did not act any differently after that.

No, we didn't do anything differently.

It seems like this shot is a little more painful and DD is usually worn out afterwards and sleeps on the way home. Other than that she seems okay the rest of the day, maybe a little extra sleepy/fussy, but not as bad as vaccines.
