My twins have had there 8wk jabs at 11am today and they went ok, no real crying, until 2/3 hrs later and now both my girls are screaming the house down...
Bless them, I hope the calpol works to calm them down.
The jabs are probably making them feel unwell in a way they've never felt before and so are upset and as they are twins they might also be upset that they can hear that thier twin is distressed too?
Do they have a high temp?
Can you take them out for a walk and fresh air to help calm them?
I remember Louise crying in her sleep after her first jabs, but luckily she also slept through most of it. Unfortunately all babies react in different ways and react differently to each set of jabs.
Hi hun both Amy & Zara were like that after their 8 week jabs unfortnately but they were fine by the evening time. Just carry on with the calpol & keep an eye on their temperatures & they should be ok. I'm sure its a nightmare having the 2 of them screaming like that though
think its over 37.5 and its too high, so theirs seems reasonable. Keep taking it every 30mins to an hr to see if it goes down further or incase increases. I see the temp reducing as a sign of feeling better.

Trying to get them to sleep now, so they can sleep through it, hopefully.
fingers crossed for you that you can get them to sleep and they wake up much happier.
I think they can have more calpol 12 hours later at 8 weeks?
