Baby sleepy after 8 week immunisations

My son had his first lot of immunisations this morning. He's been a little cranky on and off. I've taken his temperature using a digital thermometer several times throughout the day which is fine. However, he's been very sleepy today, with a few longish naps. Lately he hasn't napped much as he's been far too interested in looking at people/things instead so him sleeping so much today is bit more unusual . Plus he's not been very interested in milk. He usually LOVES his food. He starts crying like normal for food but only taken 2-3oz every fee hours as opposed to drinking the full bottle. He's been okay at times with a spurt earlier of being very alert and happy in his bouncer and few smiles as normal but his eating and sleeping is a little off.

I've given him 2 doses of Calpol (2.5ml) one at 9.45am and the other at 3pm. He's my first baby so looking for a little reassurance that this is all normal.

My little man had his 8 week injections today. Did your LO recover ok? How was they next day? Mines really sleepy at the moment.

Baby sleeping A LOT the days after 3rd set of immunisations (20weeks). After her 1st 2 sets she was kinda cranky,and a little clingy but nothing too abnormal. She has her 3rd set yesterday,slept normally afterwards and last night,but this morning her usual half hr/45min nap has gone on since 10.20 this morning and counting....(its 1.45pm)
2 questions,1 is this normal she's my 1st so I'm clueless.
2ndly I'm worried this will disrupt her fantastic sleep routine of going going bed at 10.30pm and sleeping through til 6 am!! She's fed normally also.
Do I wake her to feed her or just leave her be. She's had her 2 doses of calpol recommended,temperature has been fine
