Yikes, we went to 2 Synagis shots per baby today!

I was thinking we'd only still get one today since they really haven't gained very much weight since last month's shot (maybe 5-6 ounces). But low and behold, they gained enough to have to get their Synagis in 2 shots, one in each leg. Poor babies were so upset!

So, for those of you who get Synagis, I believe the turning point where you go from 1 shot to 2 is 17 1/2 pounds. Last month they were under 17 1/2 pounds, this month they were over.

My poor babies have gotten all of theirs in both legs so I feel for you and your little ones. It's hard to see them cry.

My 2 are 8 months and weigh over 20 lbs each. They are BIG girls.

 

YIKES! We get ours next week. They will go to the ped. on Tuesday for their 6 month appt. and shots and will go back on Wed. for Synagis. UGH!

 

Hi there my babies just went for there six months appointment and has there 4 shots each plus the flu shot and next week they get there Synagis. Poor babies!!! But I guess it is all worth it in the long run.

 

Yep, both mine got 2 shots on Tuesday too. My DD is 16 lbs. and this was the first time she got 2 shots, so it's under 17 1/2 lbs. Last month she got one shot and was 15 lbs. 3oz. But this time it was 2. My son has always gotten two and his first shot he was 16 something too.

Maybe it depends on the pedi. how they do the shots. If mine were smaller and got 2, I don't know.

 

Oh Susan, shots are SO hard as it is and to have extra shots is really stressful!! Sorry it was so hard!! Poor Grace and Lily!!
