MMR vaccination
MMR is a combi of measles, mumps & rubella vaccines to be given to either a 9-month-old baby or a 1-year-old tot & no in between. i forgot to ask our paed why is that so. anyone to clue me in on the missing puzzle? i believe big bro an was given this jap when he turned 1 but that was ages ago.
anyway, han had his shot on 19 march & dr told us to expect fever after a week’s time for the vaccine to take effect. however the fever came 3 days later & han’s body temperature was hot, hot, hot for a week! yes, a week!
han was fussing a lot. he’d no appetite for anything except breast milk. i wish i’d lots to give him. poor child! he’s also teething & isn’t keen to drink from his bottle. we've to spoon feed him water & formula milk - patience required!
he weighed 8.5kg on 19 march. i’m 100% sure he has lost some of that. i’m glad there was no sight nor smell of fever on him last night. in fact he slept soundly & so did we.
ah well, as long as he’s building antibodies within his system, never mind the hassle :o)
