First round of vaccines

My LO got her first round of shots yesterday. She slept through the entire day and night other than when I woke her to feed. The night was wonderful and I actually got some needed rest.

Well today has been the exact opposite. She refused to take a nap all day and has been comfort nursing nonstop. If I try to set her down, even if it's for just a second, she yells for me. It's truly awful.

Has anyone else taken their little one for their vaccines yet and if so, what was their reaction?

  • I hope our daughter doesn't react this way! Fingers crossed, she has her first set this Friday. Good luck! I hope your baby lightens up :)

  • DD will be getting hers today.
  • I have my dds scheduled in a few weeks in the early morning. We are suppose to leave for vacation that afternoon and I'm stuck between keeping the appt so she has some
    Vaccinations in her before we go away or changing it til when we get back the next week..just curious as to what everyone else would do? If she sleeps all day I guess that wouldn't be a bad thing but I'm afraid she'll run a fever or be cranky from there and I won't be able to do much if she's In a car seat
  • There's really no way to know which way your baby will go -- extremely fussy or sleepy -- but I can tell you from my experience that I would never want to be anywhere but home when she got fussy and had to comfort nurse nonstop. It was not fun!

    Today is Day Three and she seems very sleepy again but it may just be her trying to catch up from her lack of sleep yesterday.

    But I'd maybe consider calling to ask if it would be okay if you did delay them for a week.
  • I would change your appointment for when you got home! I know when I don't feel good I just want to be home

  • I would change the appointment. Babies some times can have reactions to the vaccine...fever, upset tummy, etc. I would hate to be traveling and encounter any problems away from home and his/her doctor.
