Do you give your babies Tylenol before they get their shots? He's never reacted adversely but i wonder if he's ever in pain.

i always do it after. was told by a nurse that it interferes with the shots if you do it beforehand. 🤷🏼♀️

Interesting! I'd rather not start trying now

My kids pediatrician recommends to do it
Penelope ·
Yeah we do it after too.

No, you're not supposed to as it can minimize the effectiveness and potentially mask any reaction.

Yeah you only do it after if they’re clearly in pain or have a fever. I’ve had to medicate my 17 month old half the time afterward. Sometimes hours after, sometimes days. The reactions are different for every child but you don’t want to medicate beforehand because it can interfere with the vaccines working in the first place. Always after, obviously only if they need it.

Good to know! Thank you

of course :)

No I don't. My kids never reacted to it. I may have given it if it caused a fever but never had to worry about it.
