Could someone who has had their child vaccinated at their two month check up clue me in on what will take place & how to prepare for it.
Thanks!

Well my sons were horrible. He proved allergic to the same vaccine as me. DPaT. He had severely high fevers and seizures as a result of the vaccines. I recommend a rotational vaccination schedule. Instead of for shots all at once that will cause fevers, irritability and you child to possibly get sick. Go in for the check up. Get one vaccine and request to come back in week installments for the others. One vaccine a week helps. My son like me can not have DPaT, or DT.. only T - tetinus shots. Guess we will need to avoid the whole diptheria and whooping cough diseases.

Make sure to give your child motrin and tylenol in alternating schedule to help with pain and fever and you will come through like a trooper.

Respectfully,

Hi you!

We go for Masons on 8/9 and were told he only gets 1 shot this time (doc calls it a love dart, lol) anyways I believe he said Hep was the shot this time.

Good luck!

My son did fine. It was harder on me than it probably was on him. I remember he took a long nap afterwards and was cranky that night, but the next day he was back to himself. I recall giving him Tylenol that evening.

Having a reaction IS rare and does not happen for everyone. I don't want you to be scared. I am sure things will be fine. Best of luck.

My twin boys each had four total - two in each thigh. They had a mild fever that evening, were cranky and a slept more than usual - but the next day they were fine. It is a bit scary, but I think much more often than not, it works out just fine.
