Amanda needles for 2, 4, 6 months are in the leg (2 in one side 1 in the other). Then 12 months is one in each leg and 1 in the arm. Side effects ive had were drowsiness (slept ALOT), slight fever, irritable and went off milk. All common and nothing to worry about. Some Panadol on hand was a good step i took. Did JD have Heb B at birth? Rota Virus is given orally
As for dummies...i hate them but if they get you sleep then im all for it! Jas and Zach have refused them so its a blessing. Have you tried wrapping JD tighter...i found that helps with long sleeps here, how bout music in his room? Some babies like a really dark or light room.....so that might help. Just trying to think of all the tips and whats worked for me other the yrs.
Welcome Vanessa....all the best for the meet up, im not in QLDso wont be able to come, but have fun!
Amanda I started researching vaccinations when Jess had a reaction to her 2 month shots...her reaction to some may be minimal but it was enough for me to question why i was going along with my DR without researching for myself. There is alot of information to be found on the net which is more objective that can be found in a DRs office because I like many people find it hard to go along with the medical profession pushing for a high vaccine rate knowing that pharmaceutical companies inadvertantly fund them! There is a tonne of research to be found. I am not happy to put the toxins that are found in vaccines into the kids bodies at any age, because an injection bypasses the bodies natural defence mechanisms. My choice that works for us!
Venessa the meet up looks great..bet you get a tonne of people. Deb hope you can get someone to help give you a lift!
Have never personally used dummies..having always been one lol. Im not sure if you can really train a baby though...they have hungry little tummies!
Jo i researched alot too...but i have a very adamant hubby when it comes to needles and he thinks the kids need them.....TBH i only think Heb B is really the only one anyone should ever need....but anyhow, thats just what i think. My kids get all the needles. Both girls have reacted after the 4 month ones the worst.
I have made a stand though....12 months are the last ones they get. Which reminds me, i need to get Chelsea's 18 month needle objection form signed and also prepare to get Jasmines done too!
Where i go, the nurses prepare the injections then the dr gives them. The bit i hate (and why i refuse to take them) is that they make you hold them down on a bed while they are jabbed. For OHS reasons you cant hold them in you lap in case the dr misses and jabs you and not the child
I think its so cruel.....a poor child is innocent and here you are holding them so they cant move....makes me cry thinking bout it.In fact i cry the whole time they are at the dr's getting needles...then when they come home i cuddle them for ages and stroke their hair, lots of kisses too.
Oh my gosh I am so not looking forward to it at all now, not that I was anyway. JD had 2 needles in his first week at the hospital I think it was Vitamin K and Hep B.
I was asleep on the lounge with JD in his sling this afternoon and poor little thing had a bad dream and screamed and threw his hand in the air. I couldn't calm him down poor thing. Lucky it was milky time anyway so he settled nicely after he had his bottle thank God. I have music playing for him in his room now, so I hope that promotes a happy sleep with no bad dreams. Gosh I wonder what could scare such a little baby like that.
Amanda i hope i havent made you feel even more worried about getting JD's needles...im sorry if i have. I was just saying what happens at my dr's and how my girls have taken them. All kids are different and drs have different rules with how you hold them etc.
Not sure what could have made JD scream like that.
Zachery just had a lovely 2.5 hour nap with me, he layed there for ages just starring at me and making noises. Was so sweet.
Ryley and I are sick at the moment..I gave him fess for his blocked nose. and he been sleeping okay..Yesterday and the day before he hasn't fed well and some bottles he drink all and some he doesn't. He has 150mls to 200mls now he is so hungry all the tiime he is getting chubby and heavy. Lol. I got his 2 month needles on the 10th march and going to do in his leg he has plenty of beef. Lol. He is in 0000 and 000 depending on how big they are..
Sorry this quick but hope you all are well..
Kirsten
