Help baby wont feed 2 days after 16 week jabs

Hey everyone,

Please can anyone give me some advice. My baby had her jabs on Thursday and still wont feed. I am having to force 3 feeds a day down her and she will only have 3oz a time. Usually its every 3 hours 6oz a time like clockwork. Her temp has gone but shes so drizzly and grumpy (worse today) is this normal? Please give me hope that this will get better ! Shes slept most the morning and only had one feed at 8am

She wont feed unless I try and force her to have it she would probably go the whole day without. Getting very stressed out

Is baby having wet nappies still?

Could you give some calpol 30min before you try and bottle?

Don't panic. Check...

-wet and dirty nappies - is she still weeing and pooing normally?
-fontanelle - is it sunken?
-skin - does her skin look and feel normal?
-behaviour - when she's awake, is she alert? Engaging as usual?
-temperature

If all the above seem fine, then just give her a few days to get over it, and contact your HV if anything changes.

I'm in exactly the same boat! My 16 week old also had jabs on Thursday and has screamed all day today (not usually a screamy baby). Very unsettled and won't feed properly. Had previously been a good sleeper but has been a night mare to get to bed tonight and is still up and very unhappy. His temp has gone but I can't figure out what's wrong. He's my 3rd so you'd think I'd have it sussed by now but I dont remember this
