hi all, molly has got her MMR jab at 2.45 today and im abit worried about the after affects as a few people have told me it can be quite nasty,

i have got calpol and will dose her up with that after incase she gets a temp, but have you any advise on what to look out for after the jab.

cheers jue xx

    Hope Molly is Ok. Harry has his mmr on June 28th so this advice is helpful to me as well. I can't remember my other 2 reacting to it so hopefully Harry will be the same.

Yeah as has already been said the don't seem to react until about 7 days after the jab

Lily has had a high temperature and also the rash  - she too developed a cough and the cold but as Greedy says dunno if thats a reaction or just bad timing lol! I just kept her on Medised at night and calpol during the day.

Hope Molly is ok with hers I'm sure she will

Apparently the best thing to give them when the mumps bit hits (day 8-10) is baby nurofen as its an anti inflamitory and the mumps makes the glands swell up.

Hopefully she'l be ok jue. Ed was a bit off from day 8 for a week or so but not really poorly and he was teething too.

Good luck hun x
