Baby not the same after 16 wk jabs

My lb had his 16 week jabs at 18 weeks 10 days ago and hasn’t been right since. He’s grumpy, cries a lot more, and whilst he’s never slept through this has been ridiculous most nights since I’m up every hr between 4 and 7, that’s after feeding around 11 and 2/3 am, and the sound of his cries are awful, it literally goes straight through me and makes my ears hurt, it’s horrible. I don’t know what to do because it’s been well over a week and doesn’t seem to be getting better. We’ve had the 16 week regression and had just started to get back into a routine btw.

It could be a continuation of the regression as it tends to last a little while if it sets on. It could be that the jabs unsettled him a little and caused a regression again even though you'd started to get a routine if you see what I mean?

If he's not got any medical issues such as a fever, vomiting, dehydration etc then it seems unlikely to be the jabs making him poorly but you know your son. It's been 10 days and if you feel something isn't right, trust your instinct and get him checked over by the GP. Always better to be safe than sorry with little ones.

Agree that it's likely to just be the sleep regression coinciding with the jabs, rather than the jabs causing it.
