At checkups your baby will be given shots (immunizations). Your baby will get her first shot in the hospital at birth. The shots help protect your baby from diseases such as hepatitis, measles, mumps and chicken pox. Your doctor can answer any questions you may have. Without the shots, your baby can get sick and even die.
Some babies can get sick from the shots. Ask your doctor or nurse what signs to look for after your baby gets a shot so you will know if your baby needs medical care.
Keep a record or write down what happens at your baby's checkups. This record will help you and your doctor know about your baby's development and what is best for your baby. Be sure to ask your doctor any questions you have about your baby's health and growth.
