Our 6 weeks ones were the worst of them all. I learnt the hard way and for the 3 month & 5 month ones gave Gina some Pamol 30 min beforehand and she reacted much better. Of course she was older too so hard to tell - they are all the same strength (I asked our nurse) so the injections may be easier to handle when older. Just be ready to give your little ones lots of cuddles and kisses - and a feed if they need it. We also carry a toy I can distract her with - seemed to help.]]> Wed, 22 Aug 2007 21:22:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10096&PID=201421&title=immunisations-tips-on-surviving-them#201421 <![CDATA[Immunisations - tips on surviving them? : Caleb had his a few days ago....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10096&PID=201370&title=immunisations-tips-on-surviving-them#201370 Author: jaz

Caleb had his a few days ago. We went in the morning in case he had a reaction. I fed him, he fell asleep in my arms than got woken up when we stripped him down for his jabs. He squawked, I fed him again, gave him Pamol and he had a big long sleep. He slept lots that day and the next. I gave him two lots of Pamol. ]]> Wed, 22 Aug 2007 20:27:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10096&PID=201370&title=immunisations-tips-on-surviving-them#201370 <![CDATA[Immunisations - tips on surviving them? : They have 3 injections - DTaP-IPV...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10096&PID=201148&title=immunisations-tips-on-surviving-them#201148 Author: Kellz

I gave Daniel a feed straight after his, helped him to forget about what just happened..

He reacted quite badly to one of his, the only way he would sleep was on me..

Next time I'm gonna make sure that no visitors come over and have everything I need within arms reach so I don't have to move basically lol.]]> Wed, 22 Aug 2007 15:22:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10096&PID=201132&title=immunisations-tips-on-surviving-them#201132 <![CDATA[Immunisations - tips on surviving them? : How many do they get at the 6...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10096&PID=201116&title=immunisations-tips-on-surviving-them#201116 Author: MissCandice

I had PND at the time and made DH come along....poor bugger.

For our 1st lot we gave Tyrell some Pamol after, but we were lucky and he didn't react to them at all. Thankfully we have a chubby bubba and he hardly felt it by the look of him.

So for the next couple we have not given him anything, the last lot he was laughing and didn't even notice them going in.

I would agree lots of hugs and maybe a feed after,

Send your partner in, while you sit in the waiting room... I'm a sook and couldn't handle it. I gave both kids some pamol before hand, and then again 4 hrs later...both of them seemed to cope well afterwards though.]]> Wed, 22 Aug 2007 14:26:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10096&PID=201082&title=immunisations-tips-on-surviving-them#201082 <![CDATA[Immunisations - tips on surviving them? : Yep pretty much like the others...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10096&PID=201080&title=immunisations-tips-on-surviving-them#201080 Author: Kellz

Yep pretty much like the others have said. Take him in the morning, and not on a fri, so if he did have a reaction you would be able to take him back to the Dr later that day or the next day. We only gave Isla 2 at a time not the whole 3,...we choose to do the menzb seperatley and have taken her 2 weeks after the other injections each time. We chose to do this cos we thought 3 is a lot at once,..and giving just one in each leg, it would be easy to know which one was the problem if a reaction occured.
Lots of cuddles straight after and feed him. Also be careful the way u hold him and lie him afterwards cos the leg with the tetanus one will be tender for a few days.]]> Wed, 22 Aug 2007 14:25:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10096&PID=201080&title=immunisations-tips-on-surviving-them#201080 <![CDATA[Immunisations - tips on surviving them? : Yes unfortunately it&#039;s gonna...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10096&PID=201072&title=immunisations-tips-on-surviving-them#201072 Author: my4beauties

Yes unfortunately it's gonna hurt them for a short while & the worst part is you can't help that! I usually give my kids pamol about half an hour before the appt so it will kick in as soon as the imms are done.

Basically with it being his first, you don't know how he'll react, so make sure your day is free from any other appts or arrangements & just be at Alex's beck n call. He may be absolutely fine, but also could be a little unsettled. So hard to tell. Try not to worry before-hand too much ok. ]]> Wed, 22 Aug 2007 14:20:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10096&PID=201072&title=immunisations-tips-on-surviving-them#201072 <![CDATA[Immunisations - tips on surviving them? : There&#039;s not much you can...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10096&PID=201064&title=immunisations-tips-on-surviving-them#201064 Author: busymum

There's not much you can do but even though us mums hate having imms done, the bubbas actually recover and forget very quickly. Your doctor will write you a prescription for Pamol for if you need it (if you don't already have some). Otherwise be prepared to feed Alex once the imms have been done and allow for him to be a bit more sleepy than usual that afternoon. If he has a dummy, take that for after.

I know it sounds horrible but honestly, by the time the imms have been done and plasters put on their legs, they are cooing and smiling to the nurse!]]> Wed, 22 Aug 2007 14:13:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10096&PID=201064&title=immunisations-tips-on-surviving-them#201064 <![CDATA[Immunisations - tips on surviving them? : So Alex&#039;s six week old shots...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10096&PID=201044&title=immunisations-tips-on-surviving-them#201044 Author: Mikaela

So Alex's six week old shots are coming up in a couple of weeks and I'm dreading it. Can anyone give me some advice on how to make the day easier on him and me?]]> Wed, 22 Aug 2007 13:57:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10096&PID=201044&title=immunisations-tips-on-surviving-them#201044
