Took my son to dr for 2 month shots and wanted to know ?

Question

if he can eat 4 oz bottle now. the nurse told me to feed him 2 oz since he got his shots this morning and that to give him tylenol for pain. ok its been 7 hours since he got his shots and now he is hungry....he wants to eat his 4 oz not 2

Answer 1

you have asked this type of question before about the amount to feed him.

If he is hungry, FEED THE POOR BABY.  If he will eat 4 ounces, then let him.  That is not too much formula for a 2 month old to eat at one time.

Answer 2

feed it!

Answer 3

my son just had his shots this morning & they never said anything about limiting his feedings..that's ridiculous why would they say that?..anyways go ahead & feed him.

was your son born on 6/18/08...if so my son was born 6/17/08 just felt like sharing

Answer 4

I would give him the 4 oz bottle.  

Answer 5

my god yes he can have four oz if he wants the poor little guys probably hungry they should`ve told you that

Answer 6

my doctor never told me to only feed 2 oz. My daughter got hers last week and they only told me to give her a warm bath to loosen her muscles and if she is still fussy the ngive tylenol. She eats 5 oz and If she wants more or less that's what i'll give. I dont think the doctor would want you to make him be hungry but maybe not upset his tummy.

Answer 7

feed the poor boy.. I have never heard that

Answer 8

I have never heard of not feeding your child after shots, feed the poor lil guy. And next time , you dont have to wait.  

Answer 9

Ok I have read all these answers, I have never heard of it either. BUT maybe instead of doing what we have said. Maybe you should call the office and make sure its ok. We dont know your childs medical history. If in doubt sweetie call your doctor. We are not trained in this subject. Just Moms!!  

Answer 10

my doctor and nurses never said to limit how much my son was eating. I say if he's hungry, feed him!

Answer 11

ive never heard that. i'd feed that baby.  

Answer 12

In my experience with immunizations I have never heard of limiting their bottles after shots.  That's a new one to me.  

I would just give him what he normally would eat and keep an eye out for the side effects that are on the info sheet they give you at the clinic.  I don't see how not feeding him is going to help with anything.  It will just make him miserable.

Best of luck mama!  :)

Answer 13

That's odd... my son's doctor never mentioned anything about limiting his feedings or the number oz. he drinks. Did he have a reaction to the shots? I would say if he hasn't been acting differently then you can go ahead and give him his regular feed.
