Immunisations after effects - 8 & 12 Weeks

Is there anything in this?

My baby boy seems to have reacted after both his 8 week and now 12 week injections. He's been really upset, off his food and generally a lot more clingy for a week after each set. He's much harder work than normal and I just wonder if this is something others have experienced, as my friends don't seem to have noticed any changes in their babies.

Thanks.

DD had a raised temperature after both sets and was fussier. She vomited after the 12 week set (but I have a feeling that was more a reaction to the paracetamol I gave her to bring her temperature down than as a reaction to the imms). She was also more sleepy for a couple of days after the first set IIRR.
In each case, she seemed back to her old self again within 48 hours. She scarcely reacted at all to the later jabs.

As with everything, I suspect it depends on the baby.

My DD2 developed a hard red lump under where she'd had the jab and her leg felt hot. I imagine it wasn't very comfortable. She was grumpy and clingy for a day or two but was then fine after. No fever though.

DD1 had no reaction. DD2 was unsettled & screamed after her 8 week ones - just for that afternoon/evening. Got her 12 week ones coming up...
