First jabs at 9 weeks - baby very sleepy

4 replies

My 9 week old baby had her first jabs on Thursday. She was agitated every now and then throughout the day. She hasn't done a poo since but I'm aware this could be because of an oral medication the nurse gave her before the jabs.

Today she's slept all day apart from waking for a feed then going back to sleep.
Is this normal? Should I be worried? She was awake earlier for around 20 mins but then back to sleep again.

My first baby was always more sleepy after her jabs and my current baby is the same-especially those first ones that can give them a temp xxx

Was normal for mine. Slept and slept after her first jabs. Try to enjoy the break - it won't last.

I expect it’s normal as long as she’s weeing and feeding. My baby is 4 months old and has just had her final set of jabs. After each of them she slept loads the following day. A lot more than usual. The after that’s she’s usually not quite right and then she’s ok again.

Thank you for your replies. I didn't think anything of it until DP said "do you think we should be worried?" And then fell asleep! Leaving me awake and worried! Glad to know this is pretty normal. Thank you
