Holy cow. My normally calm happy baby had her vaccine shots today. This is a baby who only cries if I am not fast enough with her bottle (which seldom happens). I have never heard her make noise like she did today. I felt so bad and had tears in my eyes while the big mean nurse poked her. Afterwards I had to take her back to day care. They said all she wanted to do was cuddle this afternoon and as soon as they put her down she'd start crying. She's been asleep for almost 5 hours and last ate over 7 hours ago. I hope anyone else getting ready for vaccines has a better time of it. It sure sucked for us.
Re: 2 month vaccines
My LO is due for his 2 month vaccines on the 5th. He is usually quiet unless he is hungry. I hope he does ok with them...
I am sorry you are going through that. My son had his shots yesterday. I didn't hold him when they did it because I didn't want him to associate me to any pain like that. Poor guy cried so hard at first, like the type of cry where you cry at first and you don't catch your breath for a long moment, then scream. But, luckily he stopped instantly the moment I picked him up, his eyes were red and tears were still coming out. I almost cried myself. =(
A few hours later he was all smiles and his normal self, except for waking up from naps initially crying. Today, I think all that is wrong is his legs are a bit sore, no more waking up crying.
I hope your little one gets better soon.
