Baby’s jabs - did you cry?

[Idontwannagobackwah]

DD is due her first vaccinations tomorrow and I’m dreading it! I almost cried when she had the pin prick on her feet when she was a week old.

I just imagine us going in and her looking all wide and innocent not knowing what’s about to happen

Obviously I know it has to happen and that it’s for her own good (and for everyone else) but I’m interested in hearing other people’s stories and advice on how to man up tomorrow

Nope, not at all and I've got 3 DC.

I do remember taking DC1 to the vaccination clinic for her preschool jabs though and I'd taken a mini pack of chocolate buttons for afterwards. She didn't cry at all when she got the jab, but I made the mistake of taking the buttons off her so we could get out of the consulting room quickly and she screamed blue murder. I can still remember the horrified faces of all the poor parents waiting in the waiting room outside when we came out.

No.
