Immunizations today

LO gets his first round of immunizations today.  I am so anxious.  I know it'll break my heart when they poke him & he screams.  I'm nervous about the next 24 hours & how his little body will react.  And no matter how many times they say there's no scientific evidence linking vaccines & immunizations, it still worries me some.  It's going to be a long day.

Don't fret. Both my girls cry for 10 seconds and are done. No reactions whatsoever. You'll be fine!

My son cried for less than a minute, then he just wanted to be held and to sleep the rest of the day.  By evening he was fine.  It was heartbreaking to see him cry but didn't last long.

My LO was doing so well until they poked him.  It was awful for me, but he was tough!  He screamed a scream I had never heard, but then it stopped and he slept.  He was it some pain later on (I could tell it was a new cry), so I gave him some infant tylenol and it helped a bunch.  Then he just slept again.  Make sure you have some infant tylenol on hand just in case.  Good luck.  You will get through it!

Focus on knowing that we live in a time and country where we can easily prevent horrible childhood diseases.  Sure injections might make him cry or sore for a couple days, but healthy in the long run!

Our little guy screamed for a few seconds, cried on the way to the elevator and sleep really well for the rest of the day. It's tough, but you and your little one will make it. Hang in there!

My LO screamed and cried but only for a little bit.  After about 20 sec. of holding he was OK.  He wouldn't let me put him down the rest of the day tho.  I did give him some tylenol to prevent fever.  He also threw up later that evening and the next few days.  The nurse said it was not the shots. He'd never thrown up before??? Who knows.  You and your LO will be OK.

Thanks everyone.  LO screamed & cried for a couple of minutes, ate, then slept for a few hours.  Now he's alternating between sleeping in my arms & crying.  I can tell he's uncomfortable because it's a different cry, like PP said. I gave him some Tylenol & now I'm just going to comfort him as much & as often as he needs.  It may be a long evening, but we'll get through it.  Sure beats him having polio.  I just keep reminding myself of that.
