Jack's first shots

August 14


Later the same day it was time for Jack's first immunisations. He checked out A-okay with the doctor, weighing a perfect 10lb 15.5oz and measuring 23 inches long.

Little did the happy chappy know what was to come next...

The response to being vaccinated was exactly as the doctor described. Little Jack first opened his eyes super wide, and then a second or two after the first needle went in started to scream... and we really mean screeeeeam... thankfully for only a minute or so until it was all over. A big cuddle and a feed with Mummy and everything was much better.

All packed up ready to go home. Jack shows what he thinks of his first shots!


A slight temperature that evening was the only side effect we saw in Jack. Hooray! Hopefully the next ones will go as well in a couple of months time.
Oooh yes, and I think as an effect of all the exertions of being upset plus the extra comfort feeding Jack slept right through for the first time!
