Holy hell...
LO handled the shots like a champ and was somewhat pleasant after. Two hours later he was screaming his head off. Straight up wailing. I have never seen him like that. Ever! I wanted to weep right along with him. I tried all the 5 S's and nothing worked. I gave him baby Tylenol and thankfully it settled him. I wanted to give it to him right after the shots but the pediatrician told me to wait in case he was
fine after. I get his reasoning but I wish I just trusted my gut and gave it to him anyway. He was good for about 6/7 hours but started up again so we gave him another dose.
Today just about killed me. Please tell me he will wake up happy tomorrow? I hate seeing him so upset!
Re: Two month shots
How many shots did your pedi give? The list has a few things, but I wasn't sure what they combined.
He had two shots and one oral vaccine. Great idea with the bath. I was too scared to do it last night for fear it would set him off. He is kicking like crazy right now to his mobile and slow jams so we will consider that exercise.
The doctor told us about Tylenol causing the vaccines to be less effective as well which is why he didn't want me using it before it was needed. I didn't know about the four hours after though.
I'm glad all of your little ones rallied too! Thank you so much for your help and support! {{{{virtual hug}}}}
Hang in there mama! I know it's hard to see your LO in pain!
We had an awesome nurse who was really quick.
to understand why kids hate the doctors.
BUT we are up from 4 lbs 11 oz at birth at .1 percentile to now 8lbs 11oz 1 percentile lol she's still a little peanut
@btm013 thank you and I hope so! Those wails broke my heart. I was hoping to avoid Tylenol, I'm not sure why, but it definitely helped him.
ETA - @caitlincunn Ours is fighting sleep too!
Also, she just spit up. Ugh. She seems a hot mess all of the sudden. Poor babies!
Posting so future mamas don't only see horror stories and get anxious like I did!
