    When I had Viv immunised 9 years ago, the common practice was to give them Panadol 1/2 hr before the shots. Now, when I went to get Blake done and told my GP I'd done that with Blake he said here was no need.

    Just keep an eye on him to see if there's any adverse reactions - normal it's only a temp - and treat accordingly.

    I'm sure both you and Jesse will be fine.

    I had the same experience, it was common to give panadol 1/2 hr before when my older 2 were babies. I did that with Riley's 2 month needles but not with 4 months and to be quite honest there was no difference so I wouldn't bother with the before dose again.
