Hi, my DS is 6 1/2 months and usually happy, smiley and contented. He had his pneumococcal(sp?)vaccine on monday, and slept more soundly than usual monday night. Tuesday he was fine, but yesterday (wednesday) and today he has been super grumpy, doesn't want to play much, sit, bounce, be walked around, and is very difficult to feed (he is bf still)and arches his back and screams every time i lie him down. He is also just beginning on proper food, which seems to be troubling him when it appears at the other end, IYKWIM, smells toxic too!Just wondering if anyone else has had this reaction to this vaccine (DS has been fine with all his others so far) or to weaning, and which it might be...? Excuse the huge post, just a bit worried about him.

my dd had vaccine last week, luckily had no side effects.
dd was grumpy this week, difficult to feed and today popped a tooth!!
if you think it's because of weaning, could you try bf exclusive for another week and try solids again.
sorry i've not been much help, but it'll give a bump!
