Q.

Hi. My baby is 1 month 12 days old now. His 2nd month vaccination is scheduled for 13th March. I am really scared for him as I have heard people saying that babies cry a lot, they have fever, they are hard to handle. Kindly advise on how to prepare myself for this phase. I am too scared for my little baby 😢

A. It's completely normal to feel anxious about your baby's vaccination, but you're doing the right thing by ensuring he gets his shots on time. Yes, some babies do cry during and after vaccination due to pain or mild side effects like fever or soreness, but there are ways to comfort him: Breastfeeding or Skin-to-Skin Contact – Feeding right after the shot can help calm him. Distraction – Talking softly, holding him, or using a pacifier can ease his discomfort. Pain Relief – If he develops a fever or swelling, you can gently apply a cold compress or give a doctor-recommended pain reliever (like infant paracetamol). Cuddles and Rocking – Holding him close and rocking can soothe him. Most babies settle down within a few hours. If you notice excessive crying (more than 3 hours nonstop), high fever, or any unusual symptoms, consult your doctor. You've got this! Let me know if you need any reassurance.
