I think it must have been the MMR. She ended up getting a fever that lasted about 3 days, complete with sleepless nights and grouchy days (although some of the grouchiness was probably teething-related). We had to miss a good friend's first birthday! I would push it back a week, just to be safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-vaccinations-reactionswhen-to-scheduledaycare#post-2238307 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 10:12:23 +0000 Smurfette 2238307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did them three days before her bday party. It was rough. She was up all night and I had to stay home with her the next day. I don't know if it was cause she was walking all day (shots in the legs) or what. She was finally back to herself around 36 hours later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-vaccinations-reactionswhen-to-scheduledaycare#post-2238231 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 09:22:06 +0000 avivoca 2238231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was the Friday after her birthday. She was generally okay, but make sure you get a note for Tylenol and let daycare know about the shots and any reactions to look out for. I think either MMR or Chicken Pox has a delayed reaction, and H actually did have a fever/mild rash about four days after the shots (right when they said it could happen). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-vaccinations-reactionswhen-to-scheduledaycare#post-2238218 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 09:10:49 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2238218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WOW! I'm so glad I asked this. I had convinced myself I was completely paranoid and this was a dumb question. </p> <p>Thank you all so much - reschedule it is! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-vaccinations-reactionswhen-to-scheduledaycare#post-2237983 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 23:22:24 +0000 BabyTsMom 2237983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO ended up having his 12-month shots one day before he turned 13 months and they were fine with it. One of our pediatrician's rules is to schedule the 12-month appointment after any birthday parties, in case of any reactions. And they did say that any reactions can occur up to a week afterwards (Our LO didn't have any adverse effects, thankfully). So I voted to schedule after the party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-vaccinations-reactionswhen-to-scheduledaycare#post-2237977 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 22:56:58 +0000 lamariniere 2237977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From what I understand, MMR side effects don't usually show up for a few days. My DD had a rash and high fever a few days after the vax, but nothing within 24 hours. My son only had a low grade fever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-vaccinations-reactionswhen-to-scheduledaycare#post-2237948 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 22:08:23 +0000 turquoisemama 2237948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: Good idea.</p> <p>I would postpone. No need to risk a grumpy baby during his first birthday party! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-vaccinations-reactionswhen-to-scheduledaycare#post-2237857 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 20:37:20 +0000 danda 2237857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter reacted 7-10 days later with a fever, but was fine the day after, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-vaccinations-reactionswhen-to-scheduledaycare#post-2237817 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 19:48:39 +0000 Truth Bombs 2237817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would push it. Even if it weren't for the party I don't like doing vaccines at morning appointments and then sending LO to school. I do end of day appointments so I can keep an eye on her myself for any adverse reaction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-vaccinations-reactionswhen-to-scheduledaycare#post-2237783 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 18:58:49 +0000 mrsrugbee 2237783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter's reaction to the MMR/Meningitis was relatively mild and didn't really kick in until the following week but the nurse recommended doing her immediately (I didn't) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-vaccinations-reactionswhen-to-scheduledaycare#post-2237778 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 18:53:37 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2237778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was fine the day or so after. But he has a local reaction to one of the needles (not mmr) and then a few days later got a fever and was miserable from the mmr. I would push it just to be safe so his party isn't ruined. We had my husbands grandmas birthday a couple days after the mmr and DS was a disaster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-vaccinations-reactionswhen-to-scheduledaycare#post-2237752 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 18:27:14 +0000 jape14 2237752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always schedule our vaccination appointments for a Friday afternoon so we can keep LO home if he has a reaction. For our 12-mo appointment in September, we had a similar situation - his birthday is on a Thursday, family visiting/party that weekend, so our appointment will be the following Friday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-vaccinations-reactionswhen-to-scheduledaycare#post-2237751 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 18:20:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 2237751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: agree- the ped has never cared at all if we were a week or two behind for scheduling reasons. No big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-vaccinations-reactionswhen-to-scheduledaycare#post-2237704 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 17:05:12 +0000 daniellemybelle 2237704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had various pediatricians and none have blinked at scheduling her appointment a week or even weeks after they are "due." We had no issues with the MMR other than the usual low fever and very slight crankiness but I also would always wait to do shots when we weren't traveling and she didn't have a cold or anything just to be safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-vaccinations-reactionswhen-to-scheduledaycare#post-2237699 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 16:58:41 +0000 iluvboba637 2237699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO never had any reactions to any of his vaccines but a week after the MMR vaccine he started breaking out with a rash all over his body. We brought him back to the pedi and she said it was just a reaction to the MMR shot (he also got the chicken pox vaccine at the same time). I asked if he would get the same reaction for the next dose and she said he shouldn't but I'm still worried. Luckily he wasn't bothered by the rash and didn't have a fever or any other issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-vaccinations-reactionswhen-to-scheduledaycare#post-2237693 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 16:51:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 2237693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C has never had a really bad reaction to any of her vaccines, but she does seem off for a day or so- 12 month included. I would probably push it back a week. The week won't make a difference but I think it makes it more likely that he is feeling his best for his party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-vaccinations-reactionswhen-to-scheduledaycare#post-2237691 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 16:49:45 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2237691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Need some advice on when to schedule our 12 month vaccinations/check up. DS didn't have a bad reaction to any of his previous vaccines, but I have heard that 12 months can be pretty rough due to MMR. (I'm anticipating 8 immunizations at this appointment because they should have influenza available!)</p> <p>His birthday party is currently the day after his shots. I'm probably worrying unnecessarily, but would you keep the Friday appointment, or delay until the following week? I could handle him being tired/grumpy on Friday, and can even take off from work if daycare says he isn't feeling well, but I really don't want him to be miserable for his party on Saturday.</p> <p>The current plan and limitations:<br /> Wednesday - not allowed because he is not "officially" 1 year old yet. (so frustrating!!)<br /> Thursday - he is officially one, but doctor is out of the office today<br /> Friday - appointment and vaccines scheduled at 8am, will go to daycare after. In-laws also arrive today from out of town.<br /> Saturday- small birthday party with family/close friends </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.

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/sleepiness-after-2-month-vaccinations#post-950306 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 15:38:37 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 950306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Owl: DS had the same reaction. he slept so well for the next 2 days after his 2 month vaccinations. </p>
