Those of you who have had the 8 week jabs….

I found the first lot of his jabs worse than the 8 week ones. He cried when having them done, was very clingy for the next day and slept a lot, I think his legs was sore too, but I was dreading having them done but it was a lot better than I thought it would be. I gave him regular calpol & lots of cuddles x

I took my partner with me for support and had the Calpol ready!

I took calpol with me and gave him it shortly after them, yes they’re grizzly and temp will peak within 24 hours but calpol every 6 hours following does help, I had to take my boy on my own, my mum took my other 4 and dad was on an asbestos course which is essential with his job, some babies sleep a bit more following them mine was in his usual routine, their leg will be a bit tender for a few days but easily managed when holding baby just try avoiding the area but primarily lots of snuggles afterwards, my boys got his second lot in 3 weeks, was supposed to be next week but we’re away

It’s completely natural to worry, you’re a caring mum 🤍 in my experience, I held her and she cried for a minute, had some calpol from Dad and then we had smiles once she was in the car seat. She then just slept loads and had a lot less milk intake for about 3 days, also just be careful of their little legs when you’re holding/changing them as they can be sore. Look forward to a lovely night sleep too 🥰 my little girl has done 6 hour stretches since her jabs 3 weeks ago. It’s not nice but it’s so quick and you’re doing it to protect them xx

Mine had his last Wednesday, the cry they let out is heart breaking so take some support with you i recommend you may cry, however for me it was like getting your ears pierced he screamed for a few seconds then settled, and dont be alarmed if baby loses their appetite for 1-3 days after my boys appetite fully came back on day 4 after they say thats normal and he also slept alot more too so you may want to keep an eye on times for feeding if you rely on babys cues (:
