    Hi everyone,

    One of my twins has a red, hard, raised bump where they gave him on of his shots :unsure: (6 momth shots even though he is 7.5 months). He got his shot yesterday and I am not sure which shot went in that leg. Have any of your kids had this reaction to a shot before?? He doesn't seem to be any fussier than normal.

    Is this a normal reaction?? My other twin does not have this problem, although his legs are hard where they have him the shots too.

    Our girlies get the red raised bump with all of their shots. Sometimes it lasts as long as 2 weeks. Cool cloths help a lot!!

    Very normal with an itra-muscular injection, don't worry about it. :)
