Did you give infant Tylenol after 2 mo shots?

[c&j04]

We did not. By the way, isnt that stuff still off the shelves?

It was recently when I checked. At the beginning of the recall, before DS was born, I was told they would ALL be recalled so I bought 2 bottles of generic just in case

I do not, because if my child gets a reaction to a particular shot (including a fever of any kind), I want to know about it. Giving Tylenol before the shot would "mask" the fever.

We don't vax, but if we did I wouldn't give Tylenol either for the same reason as above. I too would WANT to know if my child was having a reaction.

I also wouldn't do it for the same reason posted in the articles-- it lowers the immune response, making the vaccine less effective.

The use of Tylenol in babies under the age of one has also been linked to an increase in asthma:

We didn't -- I think once later on I did for DS2 who was having a hard time going to sleep. I had not read the articles pp posted. Having glanced at them I would not now

we dont treat before symptoms. Jack has had one vaccine and we waited and did not need pain/fever relief

Now that I've read about Tylenol and glutathione, I will try not to give it to any future DC ever and I won't give it anymore to my DS.
