Apparently you need to be 100% healthy to get a flu shot. Especially if you're a baby. Which is a nice idea in theory, but if your baby goes to daycare when the heck are they ever 100% healthy!
I took Miss M to the doctor to get her shot - the first of two, apparently you need two flu shots if you're a baby and have never had it before - but she wasn't able to get it, yet again. She has an ear infection! Poor baby! Riddle me this Batman... Why give a baby bubble gum flavored amoxycilin? Babies don't know what bubble gum tastes like, and you can still taste the medicine. They should make amoxycilin that tastes like applesauce or baby oatmeal - then little sick baby wouldn't be so surprised by the crazy bubble gum grossness.
She goes back in three weeks to make sure the ear is clear and hopefully (fingers crossed) get her shot then.
