4 month vaccinations - the aftermath?

What it says on the tin really. We had DD's 4 month vaccinations today and I'd like some advice on what to expect in the wake of this? She sailed through her 2 month ones but I can already see that's probably not going to be the case this time.
How was your LO following these particular shots?

Absolutely fine! Slept a lot for 24hrs, slightly more crying when awake but no fever. I imagined worse. Just make sure to give the calpol

Another positive experience here, sleepy on and off for 48 hours but no negative side effects

My LO had hers two days ago and she’s been a nightmare tbh! No fever but think she may have and upset tummy from the rotavirus vaccine as she’s pulling her legs up a lot. She’s been having 1-2 hour crying episodes and won’t let DP anywhere near her :( She was absolutely fine after her first ones, just slept a lot! This time around she just won’t sleep at all and is incredibly clingy!

Hate to say it, but my LO was a dream.

I gave Calpol ahead of the 16 week jabs, and a second dose 4 hours later. But I didn't really have to bother. She didn't have any fever, and wasn't unsettled. She maybe slept a little longer than usual, but that was it.

I'd been expecting the worst. She was an utter nightmare after the 8 week jabs. Crying, low grade temperature, unsettled, screaming, frequent nappy filling, refusing feed, followed by the longest stretch of sleep she'd had to date at that point. She had pretty much the entire checklist of non-serious reactions to jabs.

Hope your LO settled quickly.

Hi.

Our LO had a fever for about 24hrs and very grizzly after her 4 month jabs.

She was back to her normal self as soon as 24hrs had past

Mine was fine. No fever, behaved normally.

Same here expect she had less milk but much better than her 1st set of jabs. I too gave calpol like 20 mins before we headed in
