2 months vaccinations.

My baby girl will be 52 days old February 12th. I have scheduled an appointment for her 8 week’s visit. I called her doctor and she said that she will give her her 2 months vaccinations. I think she will have 3 different types of vaccines. Is it too early to vaccinate your baby at age 52 days? Or she should be exactly 2 months. How I’m did your baby react to the 2 months vaccinations?

Hi. I took my son at 7 weeks old and we had no problems... 2 injections and oral dose after a thorough check up with the GP.

I was advised first vaccinations would be between 6-8 weeks.

thank you. Yes, she’s already 6?weeks and few days old. But not exactly 2 months.

I think it's up to you honestly... If your GP says she is on good health and well and the say it's ok. My son wasn't 2 months either at this stage. He had no adverse reactions to any of them.

Follow your gut mumma.

Not sure what state you are in, but I'm Victoria the two month vaccines are available from 6 weeks.

We had ours bang on 6 weeks as my little one had been in hospital sick at 3 weeks and personally I did not want to wait until 8.

If you are unsure, chat to your GP or MCHN :)

My boy got his at exactly 6 weeks as that is the minimum and we wanted to make him safe asap. He's 11 weeks now & perfect.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Can someone speak on drug screening and c section?

I smoked all through my first pregnancy and tested positive didn’t have any issues a social worker came in and spoke to me and hubby and that was it but this time I’m having an elective c section and wondering did they drug test you there?

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!
