Don't give any tyenol at all, if the baby gets a fever after the shots, talk to the doctor

How'd she do with the two month shots??
If she had a real hard time with them, I'd go ahead and give her the baby tylenol or motrin about an hour before the appointment to help releive any pain before it really sets in and to stave off fever...
But if she handled the two month shots ok...maybe skip the meds...no need over medicate for no reason.
Each baby is different, just let her show you.
My guy handled his two month shots like a champ...he got one dose of baby tylenol right after cause he had a slight fever...but after that he was fine. We're off to his four month shots in two weeks and we're gonna play it by ear again.
Sometimes snuggles and lovies is all they really need to get them through it.

Try giving her .8ml of baby/infant tylenol. It helps to keep the fever down after the shots. Give it to her every 4 hours for 24 hours to help keep her comfortable. Also remember after she has her shots to love her and cuddle her a lot to let her know that it was for her own good and not to be mean as some babies don't know what is happening they just know that mommy/daddy let them get hurt. Hang in there and good luck.

I always always give her tylenol or motin ( if 6 months for motrin) 30 mins before shots because it takes 30 to kick in and she never cried much except the stick and never was cranky afterwards. Good luck it wont hurt them!

Give her baby tylenol before the appointment. I always give my son a warm bath when we come home from getting shots.

My doctor said to give my baby nothing but the nurse said a dose of tempura was fine, we gave her tempura and glad we did cause after it had worn off she had a fever. She had two doses all together for both times, 2mths and 4mths. Nothing wrong with it.

If your worried about pain or a fever spiking, an appropriate dose of children's pain medicine. I would wait to see if she gets to feeling ill or develops a fever before giving her anything. It's usually best that they get as little medicine as possible.
