4 month vaccination

edited February 2016 in October 2015 Moms
hello! Did any other baby's get a fever when they got their 4 month shots! My little baby did so I been checking her temperature very often and give her Tylenol and she's in very light clothes and suggestion on what else to do I feel so bad for her

Re: 4 month vaccination

  • Keep up with the Tylenol. You can also try a warm compress at the injection site for soreness.  Perhaps a nice warm bath (if LO likes them) would be comforting. Lots of milk and cuddles. Hang in there mama. You'll get through it together.

  • Skin to skin time helps too!!
  • It happens.  We didn't notice a fever this time, but he has been sleeping more.  (I am not going to complain that his naps are longer than twenty minutes now)

  • My LO didn't have a fever, but she was inconsolable for about 2 hours the night she had the shots, so we gave her a dose of tylenol and she calmed down and eventually went back to sleep. I was surprised because she handled her 2-month shots like a champ.
  • No fever here either but very sleepy and a little fussy the night of.
  • Thank you all for your suggestion, she woke up better but last night was bad i felt so bad for her! Her two month shot she did not get fever and she haven't gotten sick thank god so all this is new for me 
  • Also you might want to try alternating between Tylenol and Motrin. It's what we do for kiddos at the hospital.

  • Mine wasn't affected by the 2 mos shots, but he's got a fever today from the 4 mos ones. Poor guy, but he's handling it better than I expected. I think the Tylenol is really helping
  • My LO didn't react to the 2mth shots but he did to the 4mth shots. He spiked a fever of 104 and wouldn't eat at all! I gave Tylenol every 4-6hrs and ended up feeding him using a syringe since he wouldn't breastfeed or take from a bottle after pumping. I called my Drs office and they suggested taking him to emerg to make sure he wasn't dehydrated or anything else was going on.
