Just nervous about bubs getting his first vaccines and curious how everyone else did. I was thinking of getting them done one at a time rather than all in the one appointments, did anyone else do this? How was bubs ‘recovery time’ after?

We got them all at once. Bub had an afternoon where he was unsettled and cranky. We gave him baby Panadol and he was much happier after that
I spoke to my GP and he suggested I give them to bubs all at once but if I want to spread them out he said he will. I’m located North Brisbane. Did you spread them out? If so, how long did you wait between vaccines?

We did all at once and didn’t have any issues, bub was extra sleepy that afternoon and night but was completely back to normal the day after. We also gave her the meningococcal vaccine a week after as it’s now part of the program and were advised to give panadol before and after. Bub was a bit more grumpy after that one but haven’t had any issues with any of them! 😊

We have bubs Panadol before and had them done all at once in the same leg. He cried for about 15 seconds and was a bit sleepier that afternoon. Nothing else to note for him

Better to have one bad day than many in my opinion. I opted to get them all at once.
just ordered the book - thanks for the recommendation 🙂 can you please send me the details of this doctor also? I didn’t realise it impacts Centrelink. Would love to chat more about how the works if you can x

Bubs had them all at once, she was distressed afterwards but took about ten-fifteen for me to get her to sleep afterwards and she slept crazy amounts for the next two days. She was a little more moody than normal but we just gave her some Panadol when she wasn’t feeling the greatest. Had a bit of a fever the first night. But apart from that she just slept it off.

My poor baby didn’t react very well to the vaccinations and was doing poo screams, I think from the rotavirus vaccine! The pain and diarrhea subsided after 24 hours and he’s just been a little extra fussy

any dr in Melb? 😅
