Were the 4 month shots better/worse/the same as the 2 month?

TrudyCampbell · August 2012

My DD had a fever for 2 days after her 2 month shots... should I expect the same from the 4 monthers? It's unfortunately on labor day weekend and I'm not sure if we should make plans or not.

For me, he screamed, nursed, and was sleepy for the rest of the day. Thats it. And that was exactly how he was when he got his 2 months. For us, it was the exact same 3 shots.

My LO had a fever with the 2 month shots too but didn't get one with the 4 month shots.

Way better for us. Barely cried as completely normal the rest of the day.

better. She was really gassy after the two months, but the four months didn't even faze her.

Our pedi said the 4 month shots are easier on the babies compared to the 2 month shots, despite the fact they are identical to the 2 month shots. My LO screamed after the second shot but calmed a lot easier compared to the first time around. She was tired and a bit fussy but was back to herself a day or so later.

Ds did better with his 4 month shots and we even broke up the 2 month shots but we didn't with the 4 month shots.

Worse for us. Sad

With his 2mo he got a slight fever, and he didn't get that with the 4mo so that was good. However he was MUCH crabbier, more tired, and overall a mess. BUT, he is also teething and his tooth was really bothering him that day too, so that added to it.

For my DD she cried a little bit at her 2 month appointment (less than 2 minutes), but at her 4 month appointment she screamed for 10 minutes Sad

. She never had a fever, knock on wood. I hope your LO feels better soon.

He didn't run a fever or even act fussy after the 2 month shots. After his 4 month shots he ran a low grade fever and was very fussy.

DS just had his 4 month old shots Tuesday and I would say that he is about the same as he was after his 2 month old shots. GL.

They were the same shots and she had the same reaction afterwards. Slept pretty much for 2 days and then was super fussy for 2 days after the sleepiness.

Better. No fever. No fussing. Really sleepy all day after and I gave tylenol for that day and the next. Last time she ran a low fever for 2 days.

Harper'smom · August 2012

Same amount of crying during the shots but a much better day after. We gave probiotics this time since she seemed to have tummy troubles after her 2month appt.

He did much better both during and after. No fever, just tired.

starshollow · August 2012

I was just about to post the same question! Our 4 month appointment is next week, and I am nervous because I go back to work the next day!

G did much better this time. Little crying and totally normal after we got home.

This. The day after sucked for us. Super fussy and some projectile spit up to go along with the fever. DD was the same way, just fine after 2 months and feverish and cranky after 4 months.

Both times she did fine. Slept longer than normal but that was it really.
