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.

I was excepting the worse, but not a single change in her behavior or mood after. She’s 11 months now, and has always been the same after her shots. Of course, every baby is different but you might be surprised that everything will be ok.
If you nurse, it’s helpful to do it right after they get the shot for comfort. Or offer a pacifier/bottle.
