6 month needles

[bel_aiden]

just wondering if this is normal

for the other shots my ds had he had no reactions.. on monday he had his 6 month shots, he has been unsettled since then. he had a temp last night, hasnt been feeding very well (still has wet nappies though) gone off solids (only been on it for 1 week) is very tired, normally great sleeper, but as he falls asleep wakes up screaming. once i pick him up and give him a cuddle, he stops the crying though...
just wondering if any other mums have had rections like this with only one lot of the vaccinations...

thanks in advance

I have actually heard that if a bub is going ot have a reaction to any of them, it'll be the 6m ones.

DD had a bit of a fever after her 2m ones, 4m were AOK & then we had a multitude of issues after her 6m ones. To be honest though, we all had gastro & she got her first 2 teeth all in the same week, so it's a bit hard to guess what issues can be attributed to which events, but yes - I think it is totally normal. Or at least common.

Hope your little man is feeling better soon!

Have to agree with everyone else, Jemma was the same, and made for a painful few days with busy time at work

Could he be teething?? All the symtoms you listed were the symtoms my DD has when cutting teeth.

Good question taylor's mum ... was going to ask the same..

he got his firs tooth at 4.5 months.. he only has 2.. i guess he is constantly teething.. but this seems to be different.. but i guess it could be
