12 week immunisations and sleep

[joorla]

hi

My 12 week old dd had her 2nd bout of immunisations on Thursday and she seemed fine for the remainder of Thursday and Friday. The last couple of weeks she has been sleeping very well, going to bed about 6.30pm and then waking between 3.30 - 5.30am for a feed, then going back to sleep until about 7 or 8am. The last couple of nights her sleep has been really disrupted, last night she went to sleep at 7.30pm (fine), woke at 10.30pm, again at 3.30 and was awake until 6am, then slept until 9am.

I also think she may be teething as she is constantly stuffing her hands into her mouth (I know she's not hungry as she's just been fed) and is constantly crying.

Things just seemed to have been getting better for us as she has just come out of a 6 week bout of constant crying and I'm hoping it's not going to start all over again.

Any advice welcome.

hi i've got 17 week old baby.he also had disturbed sleep after these immunisations.he had them on a tuesday and reacted on the saturday.also at 12 weeks babies often have a growth spurt and can wake because of hunger. I had to breast feed 2-3 hourly for a few days(thought i'd go insane!)it does pass!as for eating their hands-it's just something babies do!my little girl (nearly 4)also did this -as does my son-she started about 12 weeks and she didn't have a tooth till 9 months! ps my sons sleeping habbits are identical to your babys-he was up every 3hours again.i decided at this point to introduce a dream feed-basically lift from cot whilst asleep-no stimulation and put back down. i do this at 10.30pm roughly.idecided it was better than getting up at say 1am and 5am-now if he is up it is usually just once.
