Can first immunisations put my 8 week son off his formula for 2 days?

He's not the best eater at the best of times, but his total intake of formula is down over the last few days,(only 550 mls in 24 hours) but despite this slept through from midnight to 6.30, when i had to wake him up to eat as i was so worried. He had his first jabs on tuesday - would he still be feeling any effects? He doesnt have a temperature and seems his usual alert self. Whilst i'm on - should it worry me that he rarely cries loudly for food ? - dont get me wrong - he grizzles a lot, and feeds are a nightmare as he only takes 2 oz then shouts/cries/grimaces/straightens out like a board. He's been diagnosed as having reflux and is on meds for this. His appetite generally doesnt seem that huge. Should i worry? Or am i being my usual paranoid first time mum self??

DD went off her food for a few days after all of her immunisations and was clingy. I wouldn't worry too much, but if it makes you feel better do get him checked over.
