My DS had his rotavirus vaccination recently. The nurse who was giving the vaccinations handed me the oral syringe with the vaccine in and asked me to give it to him as she said I'd know how to do it since I've given him Calpol before.
I'm pretty sure he spat out most of the dose. Not sure if that's because I don't really know how best to give oral medicines and did something wrong or it would have been the same if the nurse had given it herself.
At the time I thought it perhaps made sense as babies might be less stressed by a parent giving the vaccination instead of a nurse but have been thinking about it since and it seemed a bit strange. Just wondered if anyone else has had the same experience. Curious if this is standard practice or a bit odd.
