mama's with older babies, how did you comfort your LO after their first set of shots?? my 9 week old just got her first set and she's miserable ππ’ππ’. I've given her Tylenol and we're about to give her a bath. also rubbing her legs but that's making her jump and scream. just curious as to what else others did, it's been so long since I've had a baby (12 year's). I feel like a first time mom again
@leahsmommi, RIGHT!!! everything had changed since I had a baby. I feel so lost with all these messages new things lol. Congratulations on the new little one
@missliss, she's been getting extra cuddles and naps in mama's arms for sure lol. I'll try the night time lotion. she'll definetly sleep with me tonight. @leahsmommi we were told NOT to give her Tylenol before shots. I guess it doesn't work as effectively if giving before. They gave her sugar water before the shots. we were told it blocks out some of the pain receptors in the brain. she's had 1 dose of Tylenol already.
Giving her a bath is a great idea. I also just held her the rest of the day and rubbed a little bit of lotion really gently where she got the shots. I also snuggled with her in my bed
