We had our 1y and 4y needles and checkup today - the girls were fatastic. If you have an older child I can highly recommend the Emla patches - they are local anaesthetic that is applied to the skin an hour prior to the vaccination. I got 2 for Miss G and she didn't even flinch when she had her needles - she didn't feel a thing!

Miss J screamed but was ok as soon as she was put on the bb. She weighs 9.2kg (40th percentile), is 74.5cm long (60th) and her HC is 44cm (75th) so she is doing really well. Miss G is 75th for height and 50th for weight at the moment but at the same age as J she was 50th for length and 3rd for weight so J is bigger all round.
