Would I be a bad mum if I asked dh to take dd to her 1 year immunisations? The reason being I've really got myself into such a state about them. Dd1 had them and after she was a nightmare and I can remember the crying during and after, I cried with her. It completely breaks my heart. I would be waiting for her once they r done. I feel really bad saying this.
Also I am just wondering/hoping not every child has such a strong reaction to the jabs like dd1, it literally changed her afterwards.

I think nothing wrong with your DH doing this...To let you know my DS laughed at his second injection... not sure how common or rare that response is?

You're not alone, I'll be bricking it when the time comes for ds to have his 13 month jabs (and dd her preschool booster). After those jabs my dd 'changed' too - we had 6 weeks of her either staring vacantly into space or screaming like I've never heard before or since. I was worried sick. She is (and always has been) a very sensitive character, but she did eventually become happier again... I don't think there's been a permanent change but it's so hard to tell.
Out of all my friends and acquaintances nobody else had anything like - just physical reactions, fever etc. so I think dd's (and your dd's) reactions are very uncommon.
