Restless and fussy. Tylenol helped. It only lasted the day of the shots for us, fortunately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-or-worse-after-shots#post-1761701 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 09:06:26 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1761701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo is always more sleepy immediately after his shots. It usually lasts about a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-or-worse-after-shots#post-1761702 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 09:06:26 +0000 twodoghouse 1761702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They just had their two month shots last week. The first two nights after shots were awesome! Slept 6 hours at a time. Then it all went to hell and it's been chaos since then. I'm not sure if that could be related?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-or-worse-after-shots#post-1761700 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 09:05:46 +0000 autumnlove 1761700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually better naps after shots and normal night sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-sleep-better-or-worse-after-shots#post-1761698 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 09:04:06 +0000 bookwormmama 1761698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS started mostly STTN last week (anywhere from 6.5-9.5 hour stretches) but last night he had 2 wake ups. He had his 4 month shots yesterday and seemed really restless while sleeping (lots of leg kicking, tossing and turning, etc). I'm wondering if it was related to the shots (maybe his legs hurt?) or if the week of good sleep was just a fluke? (He had been only sleeping 3 hour stretches for the month or so prior and we were out of town last week). </p> <p>How did your LO sleep after shots? Better or worse? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-shots#post-1489869 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 15:41:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 1489869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, C is always sleepy after her shots. Like, super long nap, early bedtime, and potentially STTN. I joke I want shots all the time (I say as she is in her crib fighting her nap, which I'm about to give up on.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-shots#post-1489862 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 15:37:34 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1489862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, LO passed out HARD for like, 4 hours after hers on Monday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-shots#post-1489845 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 15:31:25 +0000 Elderberrygin 1489845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds totally normal. My LO dozed on and off for the whole day after her 4 month vaccines and is usually extra sleepy after her boosters. I'm pretty sure my pediatrician listed off sleepiness as a common side effect. </p> <p>Its always hard not to worry about them but I'm sure he's fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-shots#post-1489825 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 15:26:03 +0000 sweetooth 1489825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: Yeah, I think I'll keep an eye on him and see if he's back to his sweet, happy self on Friday. And if not, I'll make the call. Thank you! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-shots#post-1489821 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 15:24:52 +0000 sweetooth 1489821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: @autumnlove: @Alivoo01: Thank you guys! I'm trying not to google and create more worry. You all helped ease my mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-shots#post-1489818 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 15:23:48 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1489818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Baby Dudes are always grump and feverish for at least 48 hours. For some reason, the 4-month shots had the most effect on them, but I have no idea why. I think it's pretty normal. I personally wouldn't worry about it for the next day or two, but you can always call your ped if you feel like it's lasting too long or LO gets a really high fever or something! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-shots#post-1489815 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 15:22:47 +0000 Alivoo01 1489815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was definitely more tired after his 4 month shots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-shots#post-1489814 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 15:22:36 +0000 autumnlove 1489814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ya, my baby got really sleepy after an early set of shots! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-shots#post-1489809 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 15:21:06 +0000 lovehoneybee 1489809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E was always very tired for a day or two after his vaccinations. Tired, grumpy, occasionally running a fever. Our pedi told us it was completely normal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-shots#post-1489796 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 15:18:02 +0000 sweetooth 1489796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little guy turned 4 months today and he had his vaccinations. He has been super sleepy ever since we got home. He is still eating, fairly regularly, but he has just been sacked out between feeds. Tons more than usual. I'm trying not to worry - but would love to hear from some other moms who have been there. Is this a normal reaction? Is there such a thing as too much sleep? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschoolers-and-shots#post-792733 Sat, 18 May 2013 09:43:39 +0000 heffalump 792733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschoolers-and-shots#post-792610 Sat, 18 May 2013 07:19:07 +0000 T-Mom 792610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: wow that looks like a really cool product. It makes total sense that pain is partly mental and that distractions would make a huge difference. I'm going to check it out! I didn't plan to bribe, but apparently that's the only strategy I had in my parenting toolkit when it came to that situation :-/<br /> @Mrs. Train: you can be sure i will be hearing more requests for cake pops from DD in the future, haha :-) it was very popular </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschoolers-and-shots#post-792499 Fri, 17 May 2013 22:58:50 +0000 Mrs. Train 792499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: yeah for cake pops!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschoolers-and-shots#post-792465 Fri, 17 May 2013 22:09:37 +0000 Mrs. Twine 792465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow. I am a mean mama. My kid gets jack. We do have this for shots: <a href="http://www.buzzy4shots.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.buzzy4shots.com/</a> , and once she finally came out from underneath the chair she was a total trooper. She really likes the distraction cards, and didn't cry during the shots or right after or anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschoolers-and-shots#post-792439 Fri, 17 May 2013 21:39:15 +0000 T-Mom 792439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: thankfully all it took this time was a Starbucks cake pop. She was so happy and the shot was totally forgotten :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschoolers-and-shots#post-791508 Fri, 17 May 2013 13:25:25 +0000 heffalump 791508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: Just make sure you don't use the words my parents did. "You can have anything you want." They really didn't want my sister to get her ears pierced nor did they think she'd ask for that. They asked if she'd rather go to Disney World, etc. instead, but she only wanted her ears pierced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschoolers-and-shots#post-790444 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:13:12 +0000 Andrea 790444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: DD has been playing doctor for awhile at daycare as they have a kit there so she loves going to the doctor. Hope that helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschoolers-and-shots#post-790424 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:07:17 +0000 T-Mom 790424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: @Honeybee: playing doctor actually sounds like a great way to make visits to the real doctor less scary! Must look for doctor kit, thanks for the idea!<br /> @artbee: a whole new outfit would definitely motivate my DD too, I'll bet! That's an awesome reward that your parents gave you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschoolers-and-shots#post-790085 Fri, 17 May 2013 07:21:09 +0000 Honeybee 790085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We play doctor at home pretty much every day, and now DD actually gets upset if she DOESN'T get a shot! She cried at DS's 1 year checkup because he got a shot and she didn't. True fact! We play doctor so often, she just thinks shots are part of every visit and she expects it to happen. It (usually) works in our favor, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschoolers-and-shots#post-790083 Fri, 17 May 2013 07:20:40 +0000 looch 790083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son's only 2.5 but I tell him honestly what is going to happen when we go to the doctor. So, there's a lot of Dr. O is going to look in your ears, maybe your eyes, listen to your heart, etc etc. I bought him a doctor kit so he can see what the equipment looks like, he loves his stethoscope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschoolers-and-shots#post-790070 Fri, 17 May 2013 07:14:43 +0000 heffalump 790070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: My parents bribed us. If we were good, we got a present of our choice. For my sister's kindergarten shots she got her ears pierced. For mine I got a whole new outfit, including accessories. My brother did not behave so he didn't get anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschoolers-and-shots#post-789725 Thu, 16 May 2013 22:41:10 +0000 T-Mom 789725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Train: aw how cute! cake pop from Starbucks sounds like the perfect after shot treat I think that's what we're gonna get tomorrow :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschoolers-and-shots#post-789668 Thu, 16 May 2013 22:22:07 +0000 Mrs. Train 789668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told my son who is 4.5 years old that he was fog to get a shot but that I would be ok and them we would get a cake pop from star bucks. (I'm sorry to admit to the bribe) when the nurse came in he said. Mommy said I'm getting a shot and. Can cry a little when it hurts but if I stop and don't make a scene I can go t Starbucks and get a cake pop, even one with sprinkles. The nurse just laughed and said that's right. He got the shots, cried while he was getting them and stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschoolers-and-shots#post-789462 Thu, 16 May 2013 21:27:12 +0000 T-Mom 789462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@3littlebees: aw man, yeah I can't imagine that his magic spray trick would work on any kid? They are way smarter than that! Sorry :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschoolers-and-shots#post-789361 Thu, 16 May 2013 21:10:53 +0000 3littlebees 789361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS just had his 4 year appt and prior to the appt, I told him I wasn't sure if he was going to have a shot or not and that the dr would let us know once we got there. The dr sprayed on a numbing spray that he called "magic" and said it wouldn't hurt. Apparently, the spray didn't work and DS screamed bloody murder and was in PAIN. I am not looking forward to his 5 year appt, because now he is fully aware that shots hurt. </p>
