Wyatt has another weight check this morning and he has to get his 2 month shots. How many shots do they get? I know he…

at my babys 2 month app. she got 4😞😢 it was something im not looking forward to doing again.

My son had a liquid shot to drink, and 3 needle shots so it was a total of 4 .

aww that sucks he hates needles cause at the hospital he got stuck a good 2 dozen times. did she cry?

@juliagail09,

kaine got 2 & an oral thingy

how'd they get him to drink the liquid one my son hates medicine @prettyyellow

ohhh yes she did. lol i held her hand and covered our eyes(i didn't wanna see). but she cried like she has never cried before. it was sad and heartbreaking 😞😢😭💔

She asked me to hold his head at angle that would allow the liquid to just go down his throat. So he wouldn't spit it out. @wyattsmommy91

aww poor baby girl. I'm hoping I don't cry with him I can't stand to hear him cry @juliagail09 ooh OK thank you @prettyyellow

and i think she only has 3 needle shots and then one that she drank. i forgot about the one she drank. but its still terrible. lol

i teared up a bit it was sad..but i just grabbed her as soon as she was done and held her oh so close. then she stopped crying soon after.

I'm a nurse but sticking a baby would break my heart. I've never had to but I would if it was needed to keep them healthy. I will stick to my geriatric patients for now.

pretty sure they get 3-4 at 2,4,6 and 15-18 months. then no more until 4-5

Can you breastfeed them while they're getting them? @junebaby @juliagail09 @prettyyellow @january10th

i honestly have no idea. @regelbaby

I'm sorry I have no idea. They asked me to lay him down. However it won't hurt to ask. It might be a good way to distract your baby from the shots. @regelbaby

Ya my midwife told me studies have shown it reduces pain. @prettyyellow he had blood taken in the hospital and he was laying down and he was screaming. He got the bloodwork redone at home a cpl days later while I breastfed him.... Not a peep.

I agree whenever my oldest got shots his doctor started giving him lollipops to suck on during the shots once he was old enough for them, and he wouldn't cry, but when he didn't have one he cried. @regelbaby

Maybe sucking is just a good distraction. I'm going to ask my doctor if I can nurse him while he gets his shots. Hoping she lets me

@prettyyellow,

I didn't try but I'm sure you could @regelbaby
