1st year jabs

Following for the same, my boy has his tomorrow 😩

Same here, my LG has got hers tomorrow

What kind of bad things have you heard?

My daughter is 6 and had all of hers. She had the tiniest bit of a fever on the last ones but it only lasted 24 hours and calpol controlled her temp fine 😊 she was okay in herself and now well protected.

I read loads of thing of the being sick and being ill with them for weeks

Did you get contacted for an appointment or do I need to call my GP and book one? My boy is 1 next week and I haven't heard anything.

I had to ring them and book it

My LO had his last week, obviously cried during the needles but afterwards he was fine, we did do Calpol for the rest of the day just to be on the safe side but he was fine so much so we went to a soft play in the afternoon 😊

they contacted us

that they are sick for weeks sometimes so I m a bit scared as the others were just fine but many other mums noticed that 1 year one is somehow a bit “tougher” on them

I can’t say I’ve ever heard of that. If that happens, although it would suck big time!! I would prefer the child was sick now because of the injection, than very unwell later down the line over something that could have been preventable if the injection is missed . That’s how I would see it going forward. 😊Hopefully it doesn’t, but surely this is rare ? I’ve never heard of anyone mention this before and all my friends have children of a range of ages. Not saying it’s not true, just maybe it doesn’t happen very often.

it may depend on where you are. I am in wales and they sent a letter saying for us to book it after a certain date.

We had ours yesterday at 11am, fever kicked in yesterday afternoon and haven’t shaken it yet. Using calpol and nurofen. She hasn’t been physically unwell, just a lot of trouble getting down to sleep and refusing milk but she’s drinking lots of water. No rashes either.

I am not questioning at all the importance of having them, of course he will and I completely understand the benefits and why this is done. I am just worried, that’s all and it’s reassuring to hear different experiences.
I know that even in the event he gets ill it will be just temporary too, but I guess it’s just the emotional response of a worried mum 😊
Thank you for the reassurance anyway 🙏🏼

fever that lasts longer than 48 hours, rashes, just feeling very miserable for over a week. These are some of the things I have seen in other little ones

of course, I just meant the alternative would be not having it done. Therefore, there’s no point in worrying over something that may never happen because the injection will be done regardless! 🩷 (unless chosen otherwise of course) its easier said than done I know. I am terrible for worrying ahead. 🙈 but this is our problem. It can’t be good for us worrying so much all of the time. I have extra wrinkles for sure! 🥴😂

Mine had his last week but he goes to nursery too and has another cold/ear infection so has been very ill but honestly a lot of the ‘bad reactions’ will be other viruses they’ve picked up that were just made a bit worse because their immune system was fighting the vaccinations too. The vaccinations are fine! Mainly just a fever if anything to look for. Your baby will be fine :)!

Tbh babies are always a bit unwell this time of year so it is what it is 😂

My sons 3 and a half and I don’t remember him being sick afterwards. I think he may of had a little temp and a bit more cuddly/sleepy but nothing more than that and I work in early years and in all my years have never heard of children being sick for weeks after the 12m jabs. But also that’s not to say it can’t happen. Fingers crossed all our little ones will be fine xx

My boy got his on the 9th, he was out of sorts for his first lots so I was anxious but he’s been absolutely fine. Had a big nap on the day, but no fever, rashes, not off his milk or food (apart from a bit of teething refusal), couldn’t tell the difference at all.
Did have a big red warm sore-looking leg but I don’t think he even noticed it tbh, we didn’t do calpol or anything.

My little one had them yesterday, she has been fine so far other than a little bit whingy so maybe achey legs but hasn’t had a fever yet and seems ok for now x

My little girl had them last week, cried when she had them and the first day and a half her legs were sore so cried when she moved and picked her up other then that she was fine no fever etc we just kept on top of calpol :) x
