[quote=Anonymous]I have done this tons of times. I had a set of charges with a chronic illness and it was just not practical for parents to go to every doctor/specialist/er visit and well-visits were easy to skip. 1) ask her in advance whether she has any concerns that she'd like you to ask about (write them down so you remember) 2) take notes during the visit, especially on her questions if any 3) text her a pic of baby as soon as he/she is happy again post-shot 4) once baby is calm and you are back in the car, call her with and update, or email a detailed update RIGHT THEN when it is all fresh in your mind 5) downplay the emotional significance and remind her that the real hard part of the shots will be tonight when baby may not sleep as well or may not want to wake to eat (different babies react differently). Say you are so glad he/she will be with Mommy then.[/quote]
