Now she's just been more clingy the day of shots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-fussy-after-getting-shots#post-114234 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 06:42:11 +0000 Andrea 114234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I haven't noticed any changes in behavior after getting shots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-fussy-after-getting-shots#post-114184 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 21:23:02 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 114184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO cried when they gave her the shots and then she was fine until 4 hours later, when she screamed for 2 hours straight. I finally figured out that her legs were really sore from the shots. Even though the pediatrician said not to give her Tylenol unless she had a fever, I gave it to her and she was fine after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-fussy-after-getting-shots#post-114165 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 20:43:57 +0000 autumnlove 114165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was really cranky after her 2 month shots. She had a different sounding cry too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-fussy-after-getting-shots#post-114161 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 20:40:35 +0000 chopsuey 114161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was a bit fussy/warm after all of her past vaccinations. She did really well for her 1 year though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-fussy-after-getting-shots#post-114157 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 20:35:30 +0000 heffalump 114157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shes usually a little fussy that night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-fussy-after-getting-shots#post-114057 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 18:47:53 +0000 s1lly 114057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD got shots yesterday. She cried for a few seconds then was fine. Today she is suuuuper cranky! She will cry if she's not held. I think she was like this after her last set of shots too, but I don't really remember that well. I know they say that your LO can be fussy for a couple days after getting shots. How about yours? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-vaccinate#post-3241 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 12:57:19 +0000 Mama Ek 3241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we vaccinated - we were going to spread them out but watching him go through the pain of every needle was too much to bear for me. Most his vaccines were combined so the # of shots would be less. Also, let's face it, I work and going to the doctor that often isn't convenient for me and the doc was fine with this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-vaccinate#post-2886 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 12:54:58 +0000 katdevargas 2886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>absolutely. my sister-in-law is a pediatrician, and has such strong opinions on this. To hear her &amp; how heart broken she is over when kids come in with issues because they weren't vaccinated... well, we are vaccinating. I showed her this pen &amp; teller video once &amp; she loved it - said it was spot on.<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfdZTZQvuCo" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfdZTZQvuCo</a><br /> As others have said, I definitely think that the pros outweigh the cons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-vaccinate#post-2881 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 12:42:16 +0000 looch 2881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, on the regular schedule. I just pay very close attention to DS on the days when he has his shots and so far, he hasn't had any reactions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-vaccinate#post-2857 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 11:41:15 +0000 HabesBabe 2857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to vaccinate. I'm think as long as it worked for us/our generation, it will work for our kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-vaccinate#post-2811 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 08:11:52 +0000 chopsuey 2811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we vaccinated! Was a little nervous about it at first, but LO's done really well so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-vaccinate#post-2742 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 19:05:56 +0000 mamabolt 2742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will, but possibly on a delayed schedule. If people don't vaccinate, many diseases that are eradicated in our country due to herd immunity could make a comeback, and I certainly don't want to risk my future child dying from one of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-vaccinate#post-2729 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 17:52:01 +0000 bykes187 2729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This weighs on me a lot, as my brother is on the Autism spectrum and I worry about the hype (though I know the research is very ... vague, let's say). Chickie missed rotavirus and is behind on her shots because our health department was dragging their heels getting her KidCare application processed, but she is on a normal-ish schedule because she is on the state health plan and it's required. I'm pretty much at peace with it but once we are in charge of our own vaccination destiny again I may considered a delayed schedule for future kids, especially for the boys. (this is just my gut talking for the boys-thing, I don't have proof that boys are more prone to autism) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-vaccinate#post-2714 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 16:42:55 +0000 bakingAbug 2714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are vaccinating Bug. It may not be ideal and there could eventually be truth to the autism vaccine link but as of now, the research says it is safe and not a cause. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-vaccinate#post-1499 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 20:26:22 +0000 buttertrifle 1499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We vaccinated our girls, since they started daycare when they were 5 months old. After much debate with my husband, I finally gave in and had them vaccinated with the MMR. I think that shot was the most painful one. Both got a fever and one got a small reaction with mild measle symptoms, 10 days after the shot. We also watched out for any changes in their behavior after 2 weeks. Luckily, nothing major happened to them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-vaccinate#post-1486 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 18:47:21 +0000 Mrs. Maple Leaf 1486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will abortively vaccinate our children when the time comes. Nothing is prefect but the positives far out reach the negatives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-vaccinate#post-1325 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 15:00:44 +0000 winniebee 1325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely. My husband is a doc and feels quite strongly about it. I do too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-vaccinate#post-1323 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 14:51:40 +0000 chabuki 1323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our kids are on a delayed schedule. Instead of doing 6 shots at once, we do no more than 2 at a time and come back in between scheduled vaccinations. We also delayed the MMR until 2, but are on track for getting all of the vaccinations needed for school admissions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-vaccinate#post-1002 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 22:54:51 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vaccinated my daughter, but she's on a slower vaccination schedule. So instead of say 6 shots at once, she'll get 3 shots. We delayed some of the rare diseases that don't really exist in the U.S. like Polio (there hasn't been a case since 1976). But she will definitely have all her vaccinations in place by the time I put her into daycare/preschool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-vaccinate#post-836 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 16:44:53 +0000 Red 836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, because there's more pros than cons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-vaccinate#post-659 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 07:50:03 +0000 Adira 659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're definitely vaccinating our children. Both my husband and I were vaccinated, and we just think in general, it's a good idea. Not only for your children, but for everyone's children. For some, the vaccinations don't work, and in those cases, they really rely on the herd-immunity of everyone else being vaccinated. I've also read they aren't 100% safe, but it's pretty darn close, and that's good enough for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-vaccinate#post-616 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 21:49:09 +0000 Rock n Roll 616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We vaccinated our daughter. We both thought it was the best course of action for her, and she did really well with all her shots. She got pretty feverish after her 18 month shots for about 24 hours, but that's the extent of it. She's been very healthy and hasn't really been sick much throughout her life- maybe two 24 hour bugs in her nearly two years? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-vaccinate#post-596 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 19:24:37 +0000 mrbee 596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We vaccinated Charlie. He did not like it, especially the first one or two series of shots! Here he was after getting some shots:</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o_JidRTbNQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o_JidRTbNQ</a></p> <p>Mr. Bee and I did a lot of research about vaccines before making the decision to get the shots. My understanding was that it's not 100% safe, but that if the majority of people don't do it, then that's far more dangerous. I'm half Japanese, and we're all about sucking it up for the greater good.</p> <p>I believe that parents should have the right to choose whether or not to vaccinate. However, I would not send my kid to a daycare that didn't require vaccination. He's only been in daycare for two and 1/2 weeks, and he's already gotten sick! Since vaccinations don't provide full immunity, then I'd just be worried.</p> <p>How about you: are you going to vaccinate your kidola(s)? </p>
