Not sure if this is right topic- please correct me if it isn’t!

My son had his 12 week imms yesterday, he was absolutely fine and have kept up with calpol every 4-6 hours. However today he has been so unsettled and has gone off his milk. He usually has 6oz every 4 hours and he’s just about drinking 2…
He doesn’t have a temperature I’m just worried

He’ll be fine. Just give him some cuddles and keep offering feeds. Hopefully he’s having a good immune reaction that will keep him nice and healthy.

What I usually say is (imms nurse) paracetamol masks any pain or discomfort from their legs for the first day. The second day they can be irritable and this is what it sounds like. Cool compresses on legs - muslin cloths soaked in cold water or the bath might soothe them but lots of cuddles and milk should help. If you’re worried get some medical advice

Thank you both… he still screams even when having cuddles etc. I keep trying him with his milk but he really doesn’t want it😔 He had them yesterday morning so I’m hoping he’ll be okay come tomorrow.
He wasn’t like this with the first set so it’s come as a shock
