I know we all have to do it.........

[XKatX]

But I'm crapping myself - 1st jabs today!!! I'm a wreck today and he's not going until 4pm!
I've read some other threads and people have said give Calpol half an hour before we go, so I'll give that a whirl.
I just need some moral support ladies - stop me from crying before we even get there!!!

 

[Miss Duke]

Personally I wouldn't give calpol til you know he needs it, but thats just my opinion!

Good luck, hope it goes ok, the 1st is the worst!

I cant beleive hes old enough for them anyway, that has flown soooo quick. Wheres the time gone! x

Hi, Calpol is only advised after the second injections as its from 2 months onwards. The first injections are nerve wrecking, i went with my mum but i made sure i held jen when she was having them so i could comfort her. Take a dummy in so that when he/she cries they can calm down. It is hard but they forget about it...they just maybe cranky for a bit after and then the next day they will be in a weird mood but everything will get back to normal..just be brave...u can do it xx

He's 8+3, 2 months on Thursday, so can I not give it? Surely a couple of days won't harm?

It's fine Kat. Good luck!!! xxx

 

[Miss Duke]

It was changed from 3 months to 2 months so that it can be given if needed after the 1st inj.

 

[Jem]

Yeah Calpol will be fine hun. I'm feeling for you today as Ollie's 1st jabs are today too at 2.30pm and I'm so worried as it only a week ago he came out of hospital x

 

[Eoz]

You may even find he wont need calpol.All 4 of mine did not get any after effects from injections.just sleepy! good luck kat and you Jem xx

 

[nikky0907]

Good luck!
I know I was soooo scared before leaving and during them,more than Lola who didn't shed a tear

 

[Sophie1205]

Oh good luck Kat.
Im dreading it when it gets to Leo needing his. I hated it when he had the heel prick test! I had to leave the room, I didnt want to see my baby in pain.

Oliver didn't even notice when he had his heel prick test! Lets hope for more of the same today!

 

[Serene123]

Caitlyn didn't notice the heel prick, she was fine with the first jabs and third jabs. The second ones bruised her legs though so she was very grumpy about that!

I suggest Calpol half an hour before x

jack was 8+4 days when he had his 1st jabs & i gave him calpol half hr before then was grissly later on in the evening so i gave him more calpol before bed & jack was fine . violet xx

 

[Mervs Mum]

My sister said she got a bottle at the ready when my nephew had his and stuck it in his mouth as they did it!!! Seemed to be a good distraction!!! So thats the tactic I used. Well I actually fed her as we waited then tried to carry on as she was jabbed!! She stopped but then sucked like billy-o straight after.

The nurse said just give the calpol when you get home regardless of how they are as a preventative measure

 

[babezone]

archie had his tday ....it was horrid man sorry i no u prob dnt wana hear that.....i gave him calpol 2 a told nurse n she told me off but sod her! xx

good luck sweets xxxx

 

[XKatX]

Well, he survived! It wasn't that bad actually. He screamed at both of them, but settled down to sleep really quickly!! He's since had a feed and his calpol and he's fine now.

 

[BlackBerry25]
