Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Let me assure you that with an extra dose no harm will befall the baby. You need not worry. Just keep watch. Nothing else needs to be done. Hopefully things would be fine. In case you see anything untoward do not hesitate to visit the ER.

Let me know if I could help further.
