View CartHow can I prepare my child for receiving a vaccination?
POSTED BY Dr. Mehmet Oz
Make sure your child is in good health, is hydrated with water before vaccination, and is not receiving antibiotics. If your child is sick, schedule his vaccines for another time. Treat any post-vaccine fever and irritability aggressively, hydrate with water or sports drinks, and proceed according to your pediatrician's instructions.

The best ways to prime your child for successful immunization are to make sure he has had a good night's sleep (toddlers need 12 to 14 hours of total sleep - night plus naps), is not showing symptoms of any illness, is well hydrated, and has had adequate amounts of vitamins A, C, and E for at least a week prior to being immunized. Breast milk provides these vitamins, but you can also supplement with a baby multivitamin such as Tri-vi-sol or Poly-vi-sol. « Collapse
