Should I ring someone

Baby had his injections on Tuesday and has been so unsettled pretty much constant crying when he’s awake, sleeping a lot, not feeding for long periods 5-6 hours I’m having to pump to replace when he’s not feeding. He’s just not himself and I know that the injections can cause irritability and loss of appetite but I feel like this is on another level. I’m worried he’s not getting enough milk going that long between a feed and also that he’s not hydrated enough, he’s not filling nappies as much as usual and they are slightly more yellow in colour any advice?

if he’s starting to get dehydrated, i’d probably call 111 and just get some advice from them, they may be able to get you out of hours appts aswell. i hope all is okay, is it your 12 week ones? i have mine next week.

@Hannah the only really thing I can go off is not as many wet nappies and they are more yellow in colour so I don’t know id that’s enough to be seen, and no it’s his first lot he’s 11 weeks just had the 8 weeks late x

to be fair it does say loss of appetite is a side affect, but i can’t imagine it would last more than a couple of days. depends how you feel, maybe monitor and see how another day goes or 111 for some peace if mind if you are concerned. there’s no wrong answer! x - https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/6-in-1-vaccine/

Yeah well he usually feeds every 2 hours so going from that to 5-6 is a big change, but yeah I’ll see how he gets on throughout the day then I’m im still worried I’ll just give 111 a ring and see what that say. Thankyou! X

anytime! i hope he’s feeling better soon :( xxx

Ring someone if you're worried, you know best. When my son had his 8 week jabs, he had a loss of appetite and I pumped 6/7oz in about 5 mins 😂 he also slept a fair bit too. He was normal again in a day or so x
