My little guy turned 4 months today and he had his vaccinations. He has been super sleepy ever since we got home. He is still eating, fairly regularly, but he has just been sacked out between feeds. Tons more than usual. I'm trying not to worry - but would love to hear from some other moms who have been there. Is this a normal reaction? Is there such a thing as too much sleep?

E was always very tired for a day or two after his vaccinations. Tired, grumpy, occasionally running a fever. Our pedi told us it was completely normal!
-
Ya, my baby got really sleepy after an early set of shots!
-
DS was definitely more tired after his 4 month shots.
-
The Baby Dudes are always grump and feverish for at least 48 hours. For some reason, the 4-month shots had the most effect on them, but I have no idea why. I think it's pretty normal. I personally wouldn't worry about it for the next day or two, but you can always call your ped if you feel like it's lasting too long or LO gets a really high fever or something!

@lovehoneybee: @autumnlove: @Alivoo01: Thank you guys! I'm trying not to google and create more worry. You all helped ease my mind.

@Mrs. Blue: Yeah, I think I'll keep an eye on him and see if he's back to his sweet, happy self on Friday. And if not, I'll make the call. Thank you!

Sounds totally normal. My LO dozed on and off for the whole day after her 4 month vaccines and is usually extra sleepy after her boosters. I'm pretty sure my pediatrician listed off sleepiness as a common side effect.
Its always hard not to worry about them but I'm sure he's fine.
-
Yep, LO passed out HARD for like, 4 hours after hers on Monday!
-
Yup, C is always sleepy after her shots. Like, super long nap, early bedtime, and potentially STTN. I joke I want shots all the time (I say as she is in her crib fighting her nap, which I'm about to give up on.)
