Shots

[Brittny27]

Kaelynn had her 2 month shots yesterday. She slept for almost 24 hours. She woke up to eat but  didn't have her awake hours in the evening like she usually does. She got a fever and I had to run out and get some Tylenol. She's been talking it about every 6-8 hours.

Broke my heart to see her screaming when they gave her 3 shots.

Who else has had shots and how did they react?

She sometimes will sleep in it, but more often than not she sits there staring at things. Last night she went to bed at 4 am and slept kinda ok till 8. She sleeps better in her boppy more than anything, so we've been using that in an attempt to get her to nap. I really hope she does better soon, but I'm not really holding my breath. It's ok though. It will get better eventually, so I'm not really complaining.

I would imagine that her poor sleep last night was related to the vaccines (at least let's hope so).  You must be exhausted.  I hope she sleeps better tonight.  Does wearing her in the Moby help get her to sleep?  It helps Finn.

Finn is better today but still in a bit of a funk and not eating much (but this allowed me to pump a ton in prep for my return to work!)

I'm sorry you are having a tough time. I really thought Kaelynn was going to be fussy I lucked out and she just slept and had a low grade fever.

Hope Kylie feels better soon and you get some much needed rest.

Thank you. I hope Finn does well too. Kylie started to finally do a little better this morning. She's been really fussy the last few days and hasn't been sleeping well. I pray she does tonight. Last night she was up till 7am and I was ready to tear my hair out. Then she decided to wake up at 10am and has only slept for an hour the rest of the day.

Poor Kylie.  I hope she is feeling better.  Finn got his shots today.  He is 14 lbs and 11oz!! (the 96th %ile for weight and 95th %ile for height  - my big bruiser).  He has had a low grade fever all day and does not feel well but he has not slept more and he is not fussy - he just wants to be held all day and I am more than happy to oblige.  I hope he sleeps well tonight - my DH leaves on a business trip tomorrow and will be gone for 4 days - I need all the rest I can get tonight!

Kylie got 4 shots today and the oral. I have a feeling it's going to be a very long night. It's making her really sick and uncomfortable and she's inconsolable. I feel so bad for her.

[Brittny27]

She got 3 shots and the oral. I've been giving her Tylenol about every 6-8 hours. I'm sure her little legs are soar.

She slept a little bit more today than normal but not as much as yesterday.

im going by dr sears schedule so at 2 month lily will be getting the rotovirus and the dtap and then going back at 3 months for 2 more. i got the dtap in the hospital after i gave birth and my arm was sore for a few days so im sure the babies get uncomfortable too. i go with lily the 15th ill let you all know how it goes.

I have gotten my kids ALL the vaccines....I can say that my youngest boy had the rotovirus vaccine and still got it twice.

Lily won't have shots for a couple weeks, but with my other kids they had a tendency to get low fevers and sleep a lot more for a day or two after shots when they were really little.

Poor Kaelynn.  I hope she is feeling better.  I am dreading this and can imagine it broke your heart.  Finn has his shots next week.  His pediatrician told us to bring Tylenol to the appointment, so I plan on doing that.  From what I know fever and sleeping a lot after shots is very typical.  Did you get the hepatitis and roto virus vaccines.  I am planning on getting all of them but am undecided about getting the hepatitis now and whether I will ever get the roto virus one (that is the oral one).
