Babies Immunisations

[ruthie]

little grandson had his first injections a couple of days ago, today he is not himself at all, he keeps getting very hot and crying very hard and can't be comforted. Poor little chap, daughter took NHS direct clinic and they said it wouldn't be the a reaction to the injections but what rubbish when you inject a 2 month old baby with six illnesses what else would you expect. It was bad enough when it was changed to three in one go. Did I imagine it or did i hear that they were going to make it nine in one in the future?

I don't know how their little bodies cope with so much at once

[Bunny]

and I hope your grandson start to feel better soon *hugs*

[Jen]

I don't think the injections should be given all at once, really do hope your litttle sweety feels better soon

[Lemon]

Awww ... I hope he's ok, bless him. My two weren't too bad but some friends babies reacted and felt poorly for a few days. Hope he's better soon.

hope he gets better soon...i heard they are going to do more in one jab too...
i was breaking my heart when ds had to have his done...
i made dh take dd in for all of hers...couldn't bear it..
luckily they had no reactions to it though.

After all the research we've done into immunisations if I had another baby it wouldn't have those first jabs until it was much older. Isobel hasn't had her MMR either, nor will she.
I hope your little fella is soon much better x

Hope he feels better soon.

Mine haven't had the pre-school boosters yet (a year or two overdue now) ...

mine are all up to date with thiers. It took me 5 years to let them give ben his mmr....
i hate it too.
i swear by medised and nurofen for the first 24 hours, and then at the first sign of them being off colour i give them more medised - normally 3 days and then again at 3 months. Mine are alwasy grumpy, miserable, teary adn off colour for about a week.
The only reason i have done it is because round here we have had several outbreaks of measels and mumps and i think that on balance the injection is worse than the illness and the possible complications

Blimey is it 6 in 1 now?? poor little mites. Hope little one is feeling much better soon!!

We didn't let Isobel have the first baby jabs that our surgery were giving out, the HV was brilliant and brought us a schedule so that she could have the alternative jabs that we thought were safer for her. Just as she was finishing the course, the jabs that we wouldn't let her have were withdrawn!!

Withdrawn Sarah? What do you mean - I'm worried now!!
I hope your little grandson gets better soon ruthie, poor thing.
Zack was absolutely fine with his jabs, he would cry whilst having it done but stop straight after and then smile as usual, no temperature and no irritablity either so we were lucky.
Who's little ones have had the MMR?
