My little girl had her vaccines today. Just some advice if you’re taking your little ones, hold their legs and arms. My little girl tried to grab the needle out whilst the nurse was putting it in 😩 quite a traumatic morning but shes ok now thankfully. Nurse wasn’t prepared at all and nor were we, I really didnt expect my little girl to grab it 😓

Bless her, I’m surprised the nurse didn’t ask you to hold her arms. Every time I’ve taken one of my children they always say to hold their arms and legs tight.
The nurse said nothing to us unfortunately 😔 I held her as I normally do and kept her distracted but it just wasn’t enough. Feel really bad about it as shes got a scratch on her leg bless her

That’s insane the nurse didn’t advise you to hold her arms. The nurse made my partner quite literally pin my girls arms down so she physically couldn’t move and then the 2 nurses held a leg each.
Poor thing! I hope she’s okay (and you!) x
