@davidschmitt Same situation here, my first little one got her first shots recently. So, I’m going tgive you a tough cookie, but a true one that works wonders for my little one. Stay with me!
You have to be tough and can’t give yourself the luxury of crying. You’re there to comfort and soothe, and being emotionally unstable will distress your baby. This in turn will distress you more… This circle will just keep going.
Don’t let yourself tense up, don’t anticipate anything. The baby will sense it. Crack a couple of jokes and relax. This will help your little one immensely and just remember, when she cries, she’s just saying “I did NOT like that!”. It doesn’t mean she’s in a lot of pain.
It’s not the end of the world, stay tough and help yourself calm down first. I hope it helps you!
