minor fever and some fussiness for a day.  I used to premedicate with Infant Tylenol drops.  I suppose they still do that.

dtap is definitely a painful one. my OB made me and dh get it after my baby was born to help protect her until she finished her series. it definitely hurt, so i would give her tylenol or motrin if she seems fussy or if the injection site is inflamed. i can honestly say i was whining about it for days.

they usually start the series earlier, so if it has been started definitely finish it! if she hasn't started, i would definitely start asap. pertussis is on the rise since there are so many unimmunized people out there! in addition to babies not getting the vaccine, most adults don't get the necessary boosters. your baby can easily be exposed to the terrible disease. you can even bring it home to her.
