in two weeks my baby is going to get her shots?

Question

what shots? how many?
is there anything i should expect?
what is it going to be like when i get home with her, is she probably going to be in a horrible mood, not feeling good, do they get sick after?
Someone told me that, i shouldn't get her shots because, the shot that there giving them so they wont get it, can actually give them it! is that true? (like the polio shot can actually give them polio?

Answer 1

If you have to ask these questions on HERE, you need to wait until you have done your research before you allow someone to inject something you know NOTHING about into your baby...that you clearly have NO idea how to look for reactions to either. If you don't know what is being done, then you should wait and learn before you do!



Vaccinations DO NOT have to be administered at such a young age...they are merely RECOMMENDATIONS! If you are afraid that your child won't be able to attend school...guess what....there are three types of waivers provided by our government and vary from state to state...medical, religious (religion by definition is a strongly held belief) and philosophical. Every PUBLIC school MUST accept them as well as ANY daycare or school that accepts government assistance.



You can ALWAYS catch your daughter up later, but please, do some reading...give it time! You can NEVER undo any harm that vaccines are renown for! And I'm not just talking about Autism...I'm talking seizures that can cause life long impairment of any part of your daughter's body...an allergic reaction that could cause lifelong allergies, eczema, asthma, and other chronic ailments. Oh and lets not forget the fact that the chemicals in the vaccines are able to pass the blood-brain barrier and cause neurotoxicity...so that high pictched creaming that won't stop and gives your baby a fever after her shots...yeah that is her brain being hyper stimulated and damaged...don't believe me, read up on NEUROSURGEON R. Blaylock - who has been practicing for over 25 years. Oh and this article too...http://www.vaccinationnews.com/DailyNews/May2002/MechEncephDamVax.htm



*****Vaccination is ofcourse of personal CHOICE, but to go in COMPLETELY ignorant on the subject is foolish! Until you have read what the shots are your daughter is getting, what diseases they are meant to prevent, how to treat the diseases if she were not vaccinated, what ingredients are in each vaccine - how those ingredients affect the body, how to identify a vaccine reaction and how to report it to the authorities and MUCH MUCH MORE...you should seriously postpone these shots. Come on, you are putting the life of your baby in the hands of a doctor instead of your own. There are too many doctors out there that think M.D. stands for "medical diety" rather than "medical doctor."

Answer 2

You really need to do your own research so you're educated on the vaccines before you do them. I would really delay them until you've done that, because you can't take them back later - once a shot is given, it's done. Don't blindly trust the doctors, they are heavily pressured by the manufacturers and government lobbying organizations to vaccinate kids on a specific one-size-fits-all schedule that has nothing to do with what's best for your child and everything to do with their profit and convenience. There is way more you need to learn about vaccines than I can even start to write here.

Answer 3

It depends on how old your baby is for how many she will be getting. At 2 mos my baby got 3 shots (1 shot had 2 in it, so it was actually 4). With all of my children they cried when they got the shot & for a little bit afterwards. Usually not long after the shots, my kids would fall asleep. I have 3 kids, 1 out of the 3 would get a fever with their shots. So I would give the child that gets a fever tylenol. They are putting a little bit of the disease in them, but it's a very low dose to teach their body how to fight it off. However, the shots are still considered safe.

Answer 4

Depends on which shots you choose to have done. To be honest, I'd have to look at his shot record to see the exact number he had done, but I chose to get all available for his age. (I included the vaccine schedule link http://www2a.cdc.gov/nip/kidstuff/newscheduler_le/schedule.asp)



You have to wait for about 15-30 minutes in the office to make sure there is no immediate reaction. My son cried, well, screamed, when the needles went in, but fell asleep right after. When we got home, he played for about 2 hours, happily. Then he fell asleep again...only to wake up screaming. (I assume this is because soreness set in from not moving his legs around during that time.) At that point I gave infant tylanol. The nurse had recommended I give the medicine as soon as I get home, but I ignored her advice. Next shots, I'm taking her advice. He was fine the next day.



No, the shots do not give the child the disease. I have not heard of one case where a child actually got polio from the vaccine.

Answer 5

Your baby should be fine my son just had his 2 month check up and got 4 shots he cried but as soon as i picked him up he was fine. I was afraid he would get sick but he didn't. Especially since he is breastfed I think that helps to not get sick too. I took his temp that night just to make sure he didn't have a fever.

Answer 6

My daughter got 2 shots in her left leg, one in her right. She might be more fussy than usual, she will probably sleep longer. My daughter acted different for about 3 days. It's not as traumatic as you would guess.



And as for the "polio shot giving you polio", vaccinations work like this: if you get the flu shot, you might still get the flu. But it will be less severe than if you didn't get the shot.



And all those old childhood diseases are gone because people vaccinate their babies. :(

Answer 7

I always limit my son's shots to two shots at a time. I think he had three once, but I like to limit it to two and have the doctor pick out the two he receives at that time, and then schedule a separate nurses visit for the other ones he needs later. So, I seperate them more, but still get them.

I just don't feel comfortable with how they can try to give about 5 at one time. With two, he is still tired after and grouchy the next day, but then he's fine. You can give them infant tylenal drops as needed according to a dosage schedule the doctors office should be able to provide.

Answer 8

Let me make this VERY clear, you don't HAVE to vaccinate your baby YET if you don't want to.



When my LO got her first rounds she got 3 [TDP or Tetnis, Diptheria and Pratusis] and the Polio vaccine was done in a liquid which she drank.



Babies react differently to vaccinations, it's normal for them to get low grade fevers and to be sleepy/cranky.



My suggestion to you is get some baby Tylenol and a ice pack for when you get home. Nurse or feed her than let her nap.

Answer 9

Which check up is your baby going to 1 month or 2 month? It depends on the visit. My son gets very cranky with shots so we will not give him more then 1 shot at a visit and we usually give him a little Tylenol before the shot. It really depends on the baby. No it will not give them the disease that they are injecting the baby with.

Answer 10

Well 1st of all....GET THE SHOTS!!!! They are the virus in an inactive state. The body builds up an immunity to the inactive virus thus you are immune to the virus.

Talk to ur doc, they will reassure u + give u the pros and cons so u can make an informed decision!!

2nd, if ur worried about you child being crabby, which can happen for a few days along with a fever, give a dose of tylenol and hour or 2 before getting the shots.

As for how many shots she will gets depends on your doc. My daughter had chronic ear infections so she didn't receive any for 9mo and now we are making em all up.



Check out the CDC for up to date info about immunizations.



Please get the shots as they protect you daughter, you, me and all who have had them



(I'm a proud mother of 3 children!! )

Answer 11

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies receive the following vaccinations:

Haemophilus influenzae Type b (Hib)

Inactivated polio (IPV)

Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR)

Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTaP)

Pneumococcal (PCV)

Hepatitis B (HepB)

Influenza (flu)

Varicella (chickenpox)



There can be some secondary effects (not commonly), but they won't be the the immunization shot's disease itself. A fever might develop because the baby's immune system might think its the real disease instead of a prevention. If a fever does develop (a day or so later), it won't last more than a regular one.

Answer 12

My son just went for his two month shots last month, they gave him the DTaP shot, Hepatitis B, IPV, HIB, PCV, and Rotavirus. Some of the things to expect is a low grade fever. I called my doctor's office and they told me to give him 0.8 of the Infant Tyneol, i thought that was a little too much for a 2 month old so i cut it in half. She may be a little fussy but that is because of the pain in her legs. They will combine some the shots so there will be less needles to go into her legs.



Everything will be ok, my son is doing good except for teething

Answer 13

my baby got her 2 month shots it was 3 shots, and an oral vaccine. she cried of course and so did i. afterward she was fine, i just made sure to keep the tylenol handy. sometimes they can get a low grade fever. my dr gave my baby tylenol before she got her shots. she did fine. and whoever told you that is an idiot

Answer 14

Don't worry about the shots theres much much much more of a chance a person will die of the disease rather than the shot. There are usually about 5 shots she probably will cry but it will be less pain for her because she's a baby and they don't worry like we do about shots they just feel it at the moment of the shot. dont worry.
