So like I said in my last post, Malias got his four month shots yesterday and geesh!! I am NOT looking forward to anymore if it is going to make him this miserable every time. He took a two hour nap right after the shots and then once he was up it was a fast decline. He had fevers and was sneezing like crazy which made his nose run and wasn't really eating so much. He was whiny but it was a voice I have never heard before. Higher pitched and you could just tell he really felt awful. He almost NEVER lets me cuddle with him normally but last night the only way I could get him semi-comfy was letting him snuggle his face into me while rocking him in the rocking chair. I LOVED that he wanted to cuddle into me... but a couple hours of trying to rock while half asleep was not so much fun. Every time I moved it made him cry, and every few minutes he would whimper and cough. Oh and giving him medicine made him Really cry ( he hates the taste and would gag and throw it up sometimes). I stayed in the chair with him until 2 am and by then I was dying to go to bed and get some real sleep. So I tried to lay him down again into his crib (which normally, he has NO problems with just being put into his crib and falling asleep on his own) ..but he again started to cry so I let him come into bed with me and had him laying on top of me so he could snuggle his face in and fall asleep which he did after a few minutes. Of course with him on me I was afraid of him falling off even though I had him closer to the middle of the bed...and i was falling asleep and waking up every few minutes. Finally around 5 am he woke up crying, so I nursed him and I just couldn't take it anymore trying to sleep with him so I put him in his crib and Thankfully....he stayed asleep...YAY!! He slept until 8-ish and thankfully again, even though he has still been cranky with a fever today, he was sleepy most of the day so we got some good naps together.
Oh and last but not least, I got a really bad neck kink sometime in the night which has been giving me a slight headache all day... needless to say...I am not very fond of the effects of baby shots.

Wow that is rough! For both of you! Poor little guy! I have never heard of a baby reacting like that. They say that a baby can be like that in the doc office, just never experienced it myself.
I hope he doesn't react this way every time...for both your sakes!
wow!! Adam did that but his leg got puffy and red so I knew the sorce and he was able to sleep... poor baby and you thought :)
I've been there too. I hate shots! I cry every time THEY get them! I'd say it gets better, but. . .
