I am hoping it will calm him down - he is a little cranky.

I gave him tylenol before the shot and about an hour ago.

Yes, my son LOVES baths, and when he was colicky the first two and a half months, that would really help calm him down... so I say go for it! There is nothing wrong with a bath after getting shots.

No dont give him/her a bath for the day of the shot and 2 days after. Imagine he/she has just had a shot with lots of viruses. Even with tylenol, I wouldnt give the baby a bath. Just wait until the shots have had their effect. Dont chance it. I dont give my son a bath until the after his fever spells and stuff go away (about 3 days)

Go for it. Shots usually make them cranky. Anything that will give him a little relief and you some too is worth a try. Have you given him tylenol? That might help too. Good Luck.

Oh yes! Baths won't hurt anything. If he has a slight temp it would bring it down, and anything that brings comfort is a good idea.
Also I found it's best to remove the band-aids in the bath, it hurts less.

If it calms him down- do it. There is nothing wrong with giving him a bath- hope it works for you.

Sure, it will soothe him. Maybe even a little Tylenol.
