But we also gave him Tylenol and he never got fussy from them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-218258 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 09:36:04 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 218258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: I just read my response.... I meant to say you *shouldn't* give Tylenol before the shots because it can affect the effectiveness of the vaccines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-218186 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 08:30:13 +0000 GrapeCrush 218186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was very sleepy the day he got his shots, but that night and the day after he was much fussier than usual. we have given him tylenol a couple times since(he just had his shots on tuesday) in case of fever, and if he's a little sore. today will probably be the last day he gets tylenol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-218106 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 04:44:47 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 218106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: she didn't have a fever but she was really sore from the shots. (She would scream if we touched her legs at all) So we gave her Tylenol to ease that pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-218097 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 02:22:29 +0000 pinkcupcake 218097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO had a very slight fever and was crankier than usual, but it only lasted that evening. She was back to her cheerful self the next day :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-218091 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 01:25:49 +0000 lemondrop 218091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was grouchy, but slept for much of the afternoon. That was the only one so far that he spiked a tiny fever, but it broke before we gave anything for it. </p> <p>His 6 month vaccines yesterday, he was a but grouchy and sleepy, but no fever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-217998 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 20:06:15 +0000 tequiero21 217998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>they just cried for a few minutes after the shots and were fine after. they're champs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-217951 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 19:14:11 +0000 regberadaisy 217951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those that gave Tylenol after the shots did your LOs have a fever? If not why did you give them Tylenol? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-217925 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 18:38:38 +0000 skibobrown 217925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our baby was a little fussier than normal for the rest of the afternoon after having her shots. I gave her some Tylenol when we got home from her shots, after she woke up. She slept totally normally that night, and by the next morning she was back to her cheerful self! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-217917 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 18:26:47 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 217917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: You should give Tylenol before the shots because New research shows that giving it before the shots can make the vaccines less effective. But giving them a little afterwards is ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-217296 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 09:44:06 +0000 LAGS 217296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just had ours yesterday and other than the initial screaming from the shots, we had one brief fussy period a few hours after but that problem was solved by a little nursing. She must have just been extra irritable and wasn't about to tolerate waiting to eat.</p> <p>We didn't have to go as far as Tylenol, but I bet if you had it on hand you'd be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-217272 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 09:31:18 +0000 chopsuey 217272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my LO did well after her 2 month appt. They gave her tylenol at the Dr's office so I think it helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-217150 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 08:36:25 +0000 betsyboop 217150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: i wish we could wait a couple days but the doc office won't let us do the vaccines even a couple days before lo is 2 months old, and we have movers coming the day after so we don't have much of a choice :(</p> <p>@BabyBoecksMom: This is a great idea, thanks! Calling the doc today to see if it will be ok to give her tylenol before the shots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-217143 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 08:27:40 +0000 loveisstrange 217143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was a total pro and then slept 14 hours straight through that night. I don't think she was really any fussier than normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-217130 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 08:03:54 +0000 Sammyfab 217130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He did great! I nursed him within seconds of getting his shots and he fell asleep for 2.5 hrs. I gave Tylenol every six hours twice after getting the shots and he wasn't any fussier than usual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-217128 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 07:59:01 +0000 T.H.O.U. 217128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, without knowing how your child is going to react, I would avoid the car trip until about 48 hours after the shots. </p> <p>I typically take my daughter to get shots around mid day and then take her back to daycare. She's usually fine/tired that afternoon but about 12-36 hours after (for that entire 24 hr period) she runs a low fever and is fussy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-217124 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 07:54:50 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 217124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 3 hours after her shots, she woke up from her nap SCREAMING in pain. Her legs were so sore from the vaccines that we couldn't touch her without her crying harder. Once we gave her some Tylenol, she was much better. </p> <p>For her 4 month shots, we gave her Tylenol about an hour after the shots and had no problems, so we'll continue to do that for the rest of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-217115 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 07:46:53 +0000 regberadaisy 217115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She did not have much of a appetite that day. She seemed drowsier but still would not nap. The days following she was extremely fussy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-217099 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 07:34:55 +0000 autumnlove 217099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO cried for a few minutes then found her thumb and was ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-217060 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 06:59:05 +0000 heffalump 217060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was fussy. But she loved the car so I bet it would have helped if we drove. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-217057 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 06:42:02 +0000 Rubies 217057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was a bit more fussy than usual but it wasn't disastrous. Her thighs were hot/red around where she got her shots but, other than that she was fine. Still, though, a 5-hour car ride might be a bit tough. Make sure you take plenty of breaks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-was-your-lo-after-their-2-month-shots#post-217056 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 06:28:42 +0000 betsyboop 217056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has her 2 month vaccinations scheduled in a couple of weeks but as it turns out, we will be going on a 5 hour car ride later that day. Is this a recipe for disaster?!</p> <p>Was your LO particularly fussy or just sleepy after his/her 2 month shots? </p>
