New moms- any problems after 2 month vaccines?

[piggy2]

Since Im usually on this forum, I thought I would ask other new moms.  I just had my 2 month old twins vaccinated yesterday  (4 shots plus oral med).  They were DTaP, Polio, Pneumococcal  and Hib.  They were fine initially and about 5 hours after the shots, they both started with uncontrollable crying!!  I called the pediatrician who said I could give a very small amount of acetaminephen.  I gave a dose to my daughter because my son was passed out after excessive crying.  When we put him to bed he had a 102 temp, which I gave him some acetam.  

Has anyone else experienced this?  I was never against vaccines, but this has started my thought process on what in the h@ll are we giving these babies?  I know the risks outweigh the benefits or so they say.....   When was the last time you met someone who contracted polio?  Does anyone know anybody who has delayed or changed the administration of these vaccines?  I certainly want my children protected, but at what expense?  I'm afraid I am risking their developmental or neurological health!!  Am I just being paranoid?

thanks,
chris

I have done the routine vacts with all 4 of my kids and never had any problems beside the a little swelling at the injection site. Irritablity was also another problem but I always gave my babies tyenol about a half hour before the shots. Some doctors will argue that there is no need so I always bring my own. I feel that iit helps, but thats just my opinion. As for the fever I have never had that problem but as blueeyes34 said it does seem a bit high. Did you read over the information packet that they are supposed to give you when your LO's get their shots??? If its not a side affect maybe they are coming down with something??? IDK, I hope they start feeling better soon! Happy babies= happy mommy!

I just took my little one for a check up yesterday.  He gets his 2 month needles in another month.  He did say that they do develop a fever which is what builds up an immunity due to the injections.  102 seems pretty high though.

How are your little ones doing now?  It doesn't hurt to insist on them being checked out if the fever doesn't go down.

Hope you take care :(
