Baby fussy at one breast after jabs

My DD had her first vaccines 4 days ago and since then has been fussing or outright rejecting my left breast. This has been her preferred breast in the past as it’s easier for her to latch on to.

I am wondering if her right leg is hurting after the 6-in-1 injection. Did anyone else experience this with their LO? This is happening in several feeding positions even ones that don’t put pressure on her leg.

Before I read your thoughts on her leg being sore that was my thought. She probably just cant get comfortable in that position for now. The fact shes still eating from 1 breast means she should be getting what she needs. Do you bottle feed. Could you Express and give her a little from the left breast?
Even if she doesnt take it I would express to prevent a blocked duct / mastitis.
