Has anyone found the 16 week jab the worse of them all?
My daughter was fine after the 8 and 12 weeks one maybe a bit more sleepy that’s it no temperature or anything and not really grumpy (I did do 3 doses of Calpol after though 4 hours apart)
But today she’s had her 16 week jabs this morning she literally cried for 15 minutes straight after then had her milk and fell asleep and then basically cried the whole afternoon other than when she’s been asleep.
Shes also got a slight temperature of 37.8 which I’ve just gave her Calpol for (this is the only lot of Calpol she’s had today as the nurse said she doesn’t need any for this one.

Mine took the 8 week and 16 weeks ones very badly. It did pass. Lots of cuddles and calpol if she runs a fever

My baby recently had the 16 week jags and I think the nurse had said not to automatically give Calpol, only if a fever began so I don't think it's unusual if that happens. Hopefully it will pass quickly.
