Immunisation - round one

Anna took Caitlin to our local doctors' surgery today for her first round of immunisations. I hadn't realised quite how many injections and antigens babies went through, but this schedule lists a typical sequence of what happens here. Caitlin was, as you'd expect, a little uncertain what was happening to her, and she: Anticipating this, however, Anna had taken a bottle of expressed milk to settle her if she did start shouting, so all went well. The doctor also gave Anna an article suggesting a technique for teaching babies to settle themselves to sleep, so we're going to give that a try. We're expecting it to take a while for the effects to kick in, so we'll see whether we or Caitlin succombs first... Chris
