My daughter who is 2 months old just got her vaccine shots like a week ago, they told me to massage her legs so she wont get any knots. I massaged her legs but she still got one knot on her right leg. How should I try to get it out?? Should I massage in a circular motion or rubbing down towards the foot?? My Husband's uncle told me to ice it...but I don't know about that... any suggestions??

Do NOT get vaccinated.
A vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.
There are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.
Just sit back and think for a while.
Is there any sense in injecting a disease directly into the bloodstream.
We have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.

If you go to the vaccination liberation web page, at

You will find all the forms necessary to provide exemption for your child.

Keep massaging it and put a warm towel a couple of times a day. Make sure you watch to make sure it doesn't start getting red around it or starts oozing. My daughter had one of her shots get infected and it started with that knot staying longer than it should have. I think I'd go ahead and take her to the dr too b/c with mine she had to have an antibiotic and even after that it took another few days to go away. (Don't let this scare you about the other shots she'll have though. Things like that happen sometimes!) Good luck!

the knot will just go away on its own.... unless it really seems to bother her i wouldn't take her to the doc.. there isn't anything they can do for it.. alot of kids get the knot after thier shots... i have two kids and they have both got one every time they went to get shots..not very big one.. but still. .. just give it time it will go away on its own
The person who posted the message above me is right.. if you see that its getting infected take her to the doc.. but if its not then its not a big deal.

I would keep massaging her leg. If it causes her pain or lasts much longer, I'd call the doc. I don't know if ice is a good idea, though.

It will probably go away on its own but keep an eye on it.

if it doesnt seem to be bothering her just leave it alone, it will go away on its own.
