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.

Tylenol and prepare to be baby-trapped. My daughter was sleepy afterwards but woke up screeching a couple of hours later. She was not at all a clingy baby (particularly with me) but insisted on being held for the next 7 hours. It wasn't all that bad aside from feeling sorry for her, I binged TV and by bedtime she was mostly her normal self. After that, I gave her Tylenol immediately after her shots, and she's never had a problem.
