When to take bandaid off of vaccine site for 8 week old
So I’m an adult and when I get a shot I take the bandaid off before I even make it home but I don’t know if I should take it off with my 8 week old or how long do I keep it on . It’s been about 6 hours since she was vaccinated.

I took my sons off at his next change. He’s 11 months and I’ve never seen a sign of infection or any irritation but it’s up to your discretion. Is your child skin easily irritated?
Once it stops bleeding
no not at all I’ll take it off now then thank you
Our son had his 8 week vaccination at 1.30 in the afternoon and we removed the plaster at his night time bath that night at 7pm x
My son does not bleed ver much from the jabs and I felt comfortable removing it after an hour or 2
Midwife told me to take it off after their 2nd round of paracetamol/calpol (not sure of the painkiller name you use in the US) - so about 8 to 12 hours after vaccination x
I removed my daughters in the bath so it was slightly easier as her 1 year jags she was bruised from it didn't want inflicted more pain x
