    6 months vax

    DS had his 6 month yesterday, just the 5 in 1 jab, not pneum. Anyway, he had it at 11am yesterday but has come down with a temp this morn. Has anyone had that? He also has his third and fourth teeth (they are top teeth) pushing through today. What do you think? Dont want to go to Doc's if I dont have to...

    Yep, just having it the next day, it's hard to know if its' related. Just gave panadol and it came down,but being a weekend, it's so hard to find a Dr. Will see how we go today. xo

    both my kids got a temp from the 6month ones. Nates went for a few days at low grade. Hope he feels better soon.

    Sam had low-grade fevers for a good two days after each of the 2, 4 and 6 month vaccinations. He also gets low-grade fevers when his teething symptoms are at their worst (still no teeth yet!) so I don't think you have anything to worry about at this stage. Likely to just be the vaccinations and/or the teething. Keep an eye on him for now, and only head off to the doctor if things get worse or it seems to be going on too long.
