Just give her lots of love and kisses on those little legs. My LO cried and I couldn't calm her down for awhile :( she was fussy that night and we gave her the tylenol to help her sleep but she was her usual smiley self by the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504520 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 22:20:03 +0000 doodlepoodle 504520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MarieJ: So glad she's doing well!!! :) I always use shots days as an excuse to get extra snuggles from the love bug :) </p> <p>@scg00387: Yes, I'm ALL about the less invasive way to start with and then we can take the big jump if necessary :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504514 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 22:16:57 +0000 immabeetoo 504514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: we have a temporal but ped said it wasn't accurate until older but that sounds like a less invasive way to test and then go to rectally! Def not tmi thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504513 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 22:16:54 +0000 MarieJ 504513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: oh no! That's horrible his fever kept rising. Happy he was okay!</p> <p>@PrincessBaby: I hope you do better than I did. I was a compete wuss.</p> <p>@scg00387: she's doing good! No fever, so I am thankful for that. She has just been sleeping since we got back from the doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504487 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:56:01 +0000 immabeetoo 504487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MarieJ: how's the night going? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504484 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:54:23 +0000 PrincessBaby 504484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MarieJ: Awwww!!! Hugs to you:(. We'll do this in a couple of weeks and I'm totally dreading it! I hope she's doing just fine tonight!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504478 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:49:02 +0000 SleepyMonkey 504478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my LO screamed when she got hers but calmed down pretty quickly. its so sad when they get any type of shot because they are so shocked. one minute they are just cooing and babbling and the next, their little face crumples up and the big tears come out! anyway. my LO napped for a long time after hers and then when she woke up she was screaming in pain! oh i felt so bad. her thigh was all swollen and hot to the touch. we gave her infant tylenol and then a warm bath and massaged her leg. then she was fine! no fever either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504477 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:48:26 +0000 doodlepoodle 504477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I totally suggest the preventative tylenol. As far as temp readings what we do is use 2 diff thermometers. We have a temporal thermometer and if it gives us a high reading we use the rectal. I bought the thermometer that's specifically for rectal use (it has a short "stick" so you really can't go too far, which I was terrified of) and I always use a little lubricant on the tip so it goes in smooth. Sorry if that's TMI but I wish someone had given me those tips! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504473 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:45:43 +0000 immabeetoo 504473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: eee I am so nervous about the fever! We've only tried to take his temperature one other time rectally and even though he was good about it, I'm not confident in my ability to get an accurate reading! Our ped said they'd give preventative Tylenol and I think I'm going to do that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504467 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:41:31 +0000 Tidybee 504467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was surprisingly okay with it. It wasn't a blast, but I feel like she was in my arms and I was comforting her within seconds. I know how important the shots are for her, so that helped me not cry. She got fussy for about an hour a few hours later. We gave her tylenol and she was fine. She slept really well that night and was her usual self the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504465 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:39:52 +0000 doodlepoodle 504465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: J's fever kept rising after steady doses of tylenol, cold compress, cool bath, etc etc and they just wanted to make sure he wasn't having any sort of allergic reaction to his shots, but all the rest of his shots have gone fine, thank goodness!</p> <p>ETA: It was after hours, so we couldn't just take him in to have the ped check on him...the on-call ped suggested that we take him (I'd been talking to her every 45 min for a few hours). I wasn't just overreacting ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504460 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:37:44 +0000 immabeetoo 504460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: yikes why did you have to go to the er?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504422 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:13:52 +0000 pastemoo 504422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: This too, he is always sleepy for 2-3 days after the shots! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504418 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:12:52 +0000 pastemoo 504418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For us the 2 month shots were the worst (he has had 2mo, 4mo and 6mo shots)--the 2 month ones we had to give Tylenol every 4 hours for a full day and we couldn't touch his legs.<br /> The 4 month shots we gave him Tylenol once that day and once the next.<br /> 6 month shots--no Tylenol at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504356 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 20:48:52 +0000 doodlepoodle 504356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MarieJ: Oh gosh yes. We ended up taking J to the ER. My MIL is a nurse and she went with us, so I'm SO grateful for that. I was lucky enough to have her there so if I can help make you feel even an ennsey bit better I will! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504347 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 20:46:13 +0000 MarieJ 504347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: thank you! Not freaking out, just thankful that someone that has gone through this can offer support :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504250 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 20:06:31 +0000 doodlepoodle 504250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MarieJ: I'll try to keep an eye out for this thread tonight, just in case you have questions. Main thing is, if/when you get to the point that you need to talk to the doctor don't feel like you're bothering them. Trust me, they would rather you check in on them than get into hot water and it be too late. (TOTALLY not trying to freak you out btw, just saying not to hesitate if you feel like you have questions to ask) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504238 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 20:02:54 +0000 MarieJ 504238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: oh no :( I hope you're stronger than I was.</p> <p>@babyjmama: thank you for the tips! I will make sure I keep an eye out for the # of wet diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504186 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:36:25 +0000 doodlepoodle 504186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MarieJ: Oh you poor thing :( I'm so sorry it was so stressful!! J did develop a fever, if your LO does try a few different things. We wanted to snuggle him but that could increase his temp. so we would put him between us on our bed and just hold his hands but he wasn't fussy for the most part. If necessary a cool wash cloth on the forehead helps, then possibly a bath. Make sure to watch her diapers and that she's still having wet diapers, our ped said he would be much more concerned about his fever if he wasn't having wet diapers regularly. </p> <p>Good luck tonight!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504176 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:32:02 +0000 immabeetoo 504176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm dreading this! Ours are in a week :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504125 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:14:08 +0000 MarieJ 504125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: I dont know why I was so much of a mess. She's sleeping now, so hopefully she won't get a fever. It's crazy to think we have I do this again in another two months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504094 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:04:35 +0000 keiki_mama 504094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*HUGS* Sorry it was so hard for you mama. LO was surprisingly very sleepy after his vaccinations. He never got sick from them luckily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-shots#post-504006 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 18:12:46 +0000 MarieJ 504006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got back home from K's 2 month check up where she received her 2 month vaccinations. Thankfully, DH surprised us and met us at the appointment because I was a mess. I think I cried more than she did. It just broke my heart to hear her yelling in pain. Of course, I nursed her directly after the shots and she seemed a little better.</p> <p>I picked up some infant Tylenol on the way home just in case she gets a fever sometime tonight, but thankfully, so far so good.</p> <p>How were you after your LO's 2 month shots? Did your LO fuss a lot afterwards or develop a fever? Just trying to prepare myself for tonight. </p>
