5-In-1

Last weekend, Cayden went for his 5-in-1 jab. Before the jab, he was to see the doctor for assessement check. Everything was fine except that his neck's strength was weak so he is not good at holding his head up. Doctor advised to do some exercise to make his neck to be stronger to hold his head as he have a big head.

After the check, he was going for his 1st dose of jab. He was dozing off while waiting for the jab. Cayden was a brave boy as he only cried at the point of the injection. After that he was ok and fall asleep soon. The nurse also mention that Cayden was a big baby for his age (3months old).

Personally, i feel that he is not that big, as i think the weight he had was ok. (6.6kg). Everything was ok for the whole day as nurse already informed that fever may developed and told me to monitor the temperature and saying that 37.0 degrees is ok.

On Sunday afternoon, his temperature was 37.0 degrees so to avoid his temperature from going up, i start to wipe him with cold towel and gave him cool pack to bring down the temperature. Medicine was also given and it turns out fine for the rest of the day.

For mummy out there, if your baby have jabs and have temperature of 37 degrees which is still ok for baby(fever for baby is around 37.2 onwards), still do some precautions so that the temperature will not hike further.
