Sleepy baby after shots?

[lg28]

The baby got her 2-month old shots this morning and has pretty much slept ever since then (she nursed around noon and promptly went back to sleep).

Normal, or should I call the docs office? I don't recall this with my son.

Both my kids did this after their 2 month shots. I won't lie, I kind of loved it.

[Brie]

Normal. Enjoy it. I loved the 2 month shots for this reason, ha.

Well then I'm having a nap!!!

She's a good night sleeper - anywhere from 7-10 hours so I don't want it to mess with that

Now the child is screaming like I've never heard

It's normal.
My kid screamed and got super crabby but slept great at night but I know tons of other kids who just slept.

It's also on the "things to expect after shots" handout from pedi? Did you get one of those? Those sheets are really handy for when to call or not.

My son went back and forth between fussy and sleepy. My pedi said it's completely normal.

Normal.

I specifically scheduled DD's 2mo appt on my 30th birthday for this reason. Unfortunately a car nap on the way home from the Dr's office was the extent of her shot-related sleepiness. Then she was just fussy.

Aw.

Maybe try some Tylenol if you haven't already?

I did just give her some so I hope it works, I've never heard her scream so loud. She's back sleeping now thank goodness.
She won't really eat either. Ugh poor thing.

I didn't get one, probably because i have a toddler but I forget this stuff!

Yep, my DS basically sleeps the day away after shots.

[starlily]

All normal.

My 15 month old had shots today and is taking a GREAT nap right now.

This is the real reason I am pro-vax.

My kids were always sleepy after shots. J just had some Friday afternoon and came home and slept.

[cricketwife]

Normal, but so far, it's never been the case for DS 

[greycat]

Normal. DS slept a ton after his 2 month shots (but not date any subsequent shots).

[pitterwoo]

Mine slept all day after. Then it got ugly and she was fussy for a solid week.

A was just not herself. Fitfully dozing. We gave her a bit of Tylenol. She did sleep great that night though!

[osulori]

Totally normal. Enjoy it-I haven't seen AJ have a postshots nap like the 2 month one since!
