My daughter has been absolutely fine, she was a little off her food about 10 days after, and had a slight temp and was a little under the weather for one evening could of been a totally separate bug but she just slept for ages and was fine in the morning. Maybe a little restless going to sleep the evening of in ejections maybe from an achey leg but nothing horrendous x

Mine had hers on Monday, she was very unsettled and grumpy with a fever, not sleeping well and not wanting to crawl/stand so her legs must have been hurting but today she seems more her normal self, just had one dose of calpol later that day, I gave her a snack and some water as soon as we got out which seemed to cheer her up. The nurse told me the fever from the MMR could happen in 3 weeks time rather than immediately so I'll watch out for that. Try not to worry, it's for the best and much better than the other scenario is what I keep telling myself!

My son had his yesterday he was up all night crying won't walk won't eat 🫣 deffo get some calpol in hoping it doesn't last long

Got to admit she was fine during the rest of the day but nighttime was the worst, she was crying literally all night (ithink she tried to roll on her side during the night and her arms and legs must of been hurting) I had her on my chest for the whole night and everytime I moved she would scream again, but the following day she was fine & night x

My LG had hers yesterday and she was ok for a little bit after (I gave calpol prior to her appointment) then a few hours later she was absolutely hysterical. I couldn’t get her to stop crying for a good hour and the only way she’d ‘settle’ was cuddled into me. Got her to sleep ok as she was exhausted but she was up loads through the night. She’s been on and off today but very clingy and crying if she’s not with me so I’ve taken today off work to spend with her. She’s not Ill as such think it’s just pain. I’ve heard of they get ill from this one it’s usually delayed because it’s a live vaccine and takes time to get through their systems x

My son has his tomorrow, can you give any Calpol a couple of hours before for these jabs or not? Just wondering if it will help at all! I know some jabs are a no to painkillers before x

you don’t have to. The ones they advised us to previously was due to babies age and helping regulate temp however, I definitely found it helped my LG yesterday so I’d go for it. They asked me in the appointment if I had and never said anything when I said I had x

thank you. Hoping he's not too bad as he hasn't been in the past and I've seen mixed reactions from other mums on here! X

We had ours done on Monday and I gave her calpol 5ml as soon as we came out the doctors and that night she had a bit of a temp so gave her calpol till Tuesday night and now she’s all good thankfully x

my son has his tomorrow as well. Good luck! X

My little girl had hers Monday, I gave her calpol before hand. She came down with a fever at night but went away after another dose of calpol she’s been absolutely fine ever since! Hoping it stays this way🤞🏼x

My boy had his on Monday. All 4 in arms only. He was not great Monday or Tuesday. No temp but didn’t want to be put down, wouldn’t eat or drink really and screamed when he tried to crawl or walk. He slept most of the two days and napped 3
Times on Tuesday. Today is as if nothing happened! Back to his normal self ☺️

Mine had hers yesterday she was a little fussy but i put that down to teething
