My son had his two month vaccinations 3 days ago. He still has knots at the injection sites. Is this normal?

If it feels like a hard, red, hot lump, yes it is normal. (It's similar to the "stiff arm" an adult would get with a tetanus booster) You can give him a little Tylenol for the discomfort, and if he'll let you, you can put a cool compress on the area a few times a day. It should go away in the next day or two, but if it doesn't, or it gets bigger, speak to your pediatrician to let them know.

My daughter had her 2 month shots 11 days ago and she still has a small knot on one leg. I took her back to the doctor after a week and he said the needle probably hit a blood vessel, causing a little bit more inflammation that normal. He didn't seem worried about it, and it doesn't seem to hurt her, so I'm not too worried about it.

Its normal, just rub the spots where the knots are to get them out and make sure he's using those leg muscles so the injection site doesn't get sore!

I'm in the same boat as you. The Nurse said WARM compresses and let the baby stay longer in the bath tub to keep her legs moving. She just got them this morning so I still don't know how she's going to react! Good luck!

Completely normal. Just massage them when you can, and if he will let you, put a cold compress on them. My son wouldn't let me put a compress on him, or rub his very much. So I gave him plenty of warm baths to help.

It is totally normal, rub the lumps in a circular motion everytime you change his diaper.
