15 month old just had his yesterday and has always reacted badly to vaccinations.
His temp is thankfully below 39 this time but he seems to find it painful to walk and crawl (they injected twice into each thigh) and just wanted me to cuddle him in front of the TV so far this morning.
I'm not that worried as assuming this will get better over the next couple of days, but he seems to have gone off his food, won't have meals only biscuits, snacks and milk.
Is it ok to give him more milk than usual if he's not eating his meals? Just don't want to encourage bad habits.

Yes it’s fine. Generally when kids are unwell they go off meals but it’s important to encourage lots of drinks in whatever format they will accept.

Thanks, he's not eaten much today but had a few spoonfuls of food and sips of milk here and there.
Nappies aren't dry at least and his temp is below 38 now so hopefully he will be better in the morning.
He seemed happier and was playing a few hours before bed, bless him. Smile
