Hey, each baby acts differently. I was crying when jacob got his so my OH gotta take him for his nexts one. He didnt cry with the first ones but screamed his little heart out with the second. But luckily the nurse i had i knew and she let us stay until he settled which took about 5-10mins. Then when we got home he slept for about 3 hours then woke and then about 7pm got a really bad temp (had injections at 3pm) and i gave him 2.5ml of calpol (there aloud 2.5ml every 6hours) then that night and the next day and night suffered from a really high temp but that was it he wasnt crying or anything just really hot and sleepy

Hope it goes well XXX

Agh my doc said it was 2 months (jacob was 9 weeks when he had his).....double check with your doc im sure its ok as they need it to bring the temp down......as your nurse when you go in. They gave me it on prescription too XXX

I had Hebe's sprung on me at a weighing session! I thought I was coming a afew days later but they said they might as well do it that day!! So I was feeding her while waiting in the corridor and the nurse suggested I carry on as it might distract her. It didnt totally but it seemed to help. My sister said she got a bottle ready for her little lad to have straight after and that settled him.

After she had calpol and she wasnt quite 2 months - she didnt show any reaction of any kind - she did sleep an extra hour that night.
