Your healthcare provider should give you a reminder when the next doses are due. If you are not sure, call your clinic or healthcare provider to find out when you should bring your child back. Doses cannot be given too close together or immunity doesn’t have time to build up. On the other hand, you don’t want to delay your child’s shots and get behind schedule.

As a new parent, it can sometimes be difficult to work out what your baby is telling you — is he/she hungry, tired, cold, thirsty, uncomfortable or in need of affection? Not knowing why your baby is crying can make it more upsetting.
