Oh my just read the booklet and saw that my little ds is going to be subjected to 3 injections on Tues. Two created hysteria, but three... I know that it is better than the disease, but bless their hearts. How were peoples dc after the three injections?

Mine were both fine. Makes a big difference at 16 weeks as their wee legs are plumper so it looks like less of an assault. Lots of hugs all round before and after.

Aww, it is not very nice to see But just as with two at once, they forget about it completely after 5 minutes. Lots of cuddles and a change of scene (ie taking them back into the waiting room) helps a lot.

Sometimes the surgery will have a spare person who can come and give the second at the same time as the first so it's not like having 3 but like having 2, if that makes sense.

I bf so a quick one of those will I am sure take his mind of it. How did peoples dc cope after! Any illness fever? Ds had a temp about hour after both earlier immunisations but went as quickly as it came.

My dd got better at each of her immunisations - screamed the place down after the first, cried a bit after the second and barely noticed the third lot, even though there were 3 jabs.

Good luck anyway - I hope your ds isn't too bothered by them.
