Hello there!
I’m writing to see if anyone had similar experiences with their LOs following the first (should be 8 weeks) immunisations.
Ours have been a couple weeks late, due to our practice not out of choice. He had them yesterday morning.
We had the expected unhappiness at time of injections and also expected some fussiness and crying in the time after however we experienced an awful 24 hours in which following actual injections there was 7 hours of extreme screaming even creating some new screams we didn’t know were possible, a check over from a doctor as a result of this, possibly due to new Mam anxiety however were reassured DS was simply “pissed off” at what has happened.
24 hours later of little sleep from him and minimal feeding (breast in which I hoped would be a comfort but mostly refusing) we encountered diarrhoea and upset stomach making him highly irritable but not as screaming as yesterday.
My major concern is as young as he is he really does seem to understand we took him to do this and our normally smiley and chatty baby refuses to even make eye contact with us. We’ve had family round who have managed albeit small but smiles from him but he just screams when we try. At 10 weeks I figured babies wouldn’t possibly be able to connect these sort of things together but I’m adamant that he feels betrayed by us for making him feel this crap.
Has anyone else seemed to have a baby upset with them and please tell me it gets better.
I understand this sounds stupid, just looking for reassurance that he will be back to chatting and smiling at us.
