Our sweet baby had her first set of vaccines today, and she seems to be very tired, restless, and cranky. She has been asleep since her appointment at noon today. Is it ok to let her sleep all day since she probably isn't feeling good, or should I be trying to encourage periods of alertness still. I don't want her to be up all night if I let her sleep all day. She is still waking to eat, she's just very fussy. Thanks!

Awww poor thing. I know when I don't feel well I can sleep all day and still sleep during the night. I'm assuming babies are like that too.

@artbee: that's what I was thinking too.

When my son was an infant, he would take longer naps after his vaccines. We just let him rest and he was fine and normal the next day.

I would say the same... both our girls were more drowsy after their vaccines
Wasn't a problem for nighttime sleep.

My daughter is getting them next week, and I'm so not looking forward to it. I've heard that babies usually tend to sleep all day after their first round of vaccines. I'm also worried about messing up my daughter's usually good nighttime sleep schedule, but it sounds like she's getting some needed rest to deal w/ the vaccines.

I just let my Lo sleep after her shots. Hope your Lo feels better soon!
