Episode 13 - Baby vaccinations: the what, when & why | Cassidy Mason

In this week’s episode, 7-week-old baby Max has just had his first vaccinations. Meg and Cass discuss the big baby vaccination debate and the science behind vaccines. They explore different vaccination schedules in different regions, and the different emotions you will feel as a mother seeing your baby in pain. Meg shares some soothing strategies to comfort your little one when they are sore and out of sorts after a vaccination. They spend some time talking about the importance of comforting your baby and how simple acts like cuddling and reassuring lay the foundations for relationships throughout their life. That leads them to discuss soothing techniques - whether they are habit forming and getting the balance right. Cass also asks Meg when to expect long stretches of sleep again and together they touch on the importance of tummy time. Meg explains the link between tummy time and mathematical ability later in life and shares some tips with Cass to help Max develop his back and core muscles. Join Meg, Cass and baby Max as they coo, cuddle and comfort their way through this week’s challenges and celebrate the wins. Listen now.
