Immunisationpoorly baby after b wk jabs
hi ladies,
Riley has just had his 8 wk jabs this morning, was fine apart from a quick scream. Since I have brought him home, he has wanted to feed he has only taken about 10 oz since 10am this morning (normally would have 6 oz every 4 hrs) He has a raised temp so I gave him calpol but don't think he actually took any of it as it came straight back out despite using a syringe, what can I do to help him? how can I get some medicine into him, and how long can he go without feeds for! x btw he is bottlefeeding!
Ta v much!

sorry still have baby brain, what I meant to say wassince we got home he has just wanted to sleep and has only add 10oz of milk
Hi Jan, my little man was ill after all his jabs with fever etc and generally not himself, wouldn't worry too much about the milk intake it will pick up again when he's feeling better. Does he take a dummy? If so try putting the medicine in his mouth and then putting dummy straight in, I always used a spoon rather than a syringe though just got hubby to hold him while I did it so he was laid back and gravity helped!
If he wants to sleep then I would just let him and feed him when he wants it - he might just want small drinks rather than full feeds. And just keep an eye on his temp. My son was up and down for about 48 hours after each set of jabs, the second ones were the worst for us though.
Hope he is feeling better soon! xxx
hiya, my daughter was the same after the first jabs, screaming all day, was sick all over her uncle, however shes had jabs ever since then been perfectly fine
