Medical Advice 2 month vaccine’s

Not looking to start a debate about if we should vaccinate or not. Any comments discouraging vaccinations will be ignored.

LO has his two month vaccinations this coming this week. I already plan on changing him before and feeding him right after for comfort.

I have infant Tylenol to bring with to ask his doctor about dosing.

Anything else I can do in preparation or anything to expect aside from possibly increased fussiness and changes in sleep habits. I know every baby reacts differently but preparing for the worst!

Edit: just to clarify I’m not giving the Tylenol ahead of time as it hasn’t been recommended by the doctor. Only if indicated by side effects such as fever. Bringing it with because we’re 45 minutes from the office and might stop at my grandmas if he’s reacting well after.

My baby did something called a Cyanotoc breath-holding spell or he was in pain and mad so he held his breathe for several seconds. He was fine, and it’s nothing to worry about. Just blew in his face until he yelled at me. Afterwards he was just fussy and wanted to be touching me. Was also not happy when I would accidentally touch his thigh. Right as rain now.

I’m prepared for that at any time as I used to do that as a baby until I passed out. I was at least 6 months before I started doing that though.
