I've taken a different child home!!!!

Really hoping someone can provide a bit of reassurance!! My daughter had her 8 week jabs on Wednesday and honestly I'm sure I've taken a different child home. She used to be placid, happy, slept well and took her bottles. NOW - she wont let us put her down for 2 seconds and seems to be hungry but wont take full feeds. The nurse said expect a fever and cold symptons for 48 hours - but we are into day 3 now? Does anyone else have any experiences? I feel a bit silly ringing the doctors as there isnt actually anything wrong with her. PS tried Calpol and not working! Thanks in advance x

    I didn't want to r&r - we didn't have this exactly but I did find that ds wasn't bothered by his jabs for the first few days but then became really grizzly and didn't nap well on about day 4. I would speak to the HV - give them a ring. It can't hurt! She might just feel a bit under the weather, when my son feels like that he gets really disrupted bless him. I think it's mainly because he gets frustrated! Hope she feels better soon x

    Yep were like Em, no reaction till day 3-5 and then he had disturbed nights and was grumpy as anything! He has never had a fever or cold like symptoms just unsettledness really and it does pass.

    Hope she feels better soon

    when madam had her first lot of jabs, she spent the following 4 days just crying, and it seemed to worsen at night, none of my other 3 were like that. but i also found calpol aggrevated it and made her cry more, so her next lot of jabs i gave her calprofen and that worked a treat. it will pass hun, i know how horrid it is to hear your baby crying like that xxxx

    Have you tried paracetamol? Our doc prescribed my LO some for after his jabs and that seemed to have worked a treat. He told us not to bother with calpol. Sorry can't offer more help xx

    Hi Becky, Thomas was ok the day he had his jabs, a little sleepy from what I can remember that afternoon, but i don't think it really ht him until a couple of days later, he wasn't too bad he was just a bit grizzly, not enough for me to give him anything like calpol or anything though so he wasn't too bad. Sorry wish I could help. Hope she's back to herself soon. x
