Have you been giving paracetamol as advised?

My DS never reacted badly to any of his vaccinations. I gave him calpol anyway in case of pain in the injection sites but I never remember him having a temperature, he was just sleepier than usual

3 doses of paracetamol are recommended after the 8 weeks jabs due to the menB vaccine (and after whichever set include MenB again - 16 weeks maybe)

We gave DD calpol as advised but she was fine - no temperature and no side effects.

DD never got a temperature but she's not prone to temps in general. She's 3 and never had one. It's not a definite thing, just something that is common.

My second didn't get fevers after his jabs but my first had fevers so high we were on the phone with 111 all night 😭.

Every baby is different. A lack of fever doesn't mean the jabs haven't worked 😊.

Yes have given calpol as advised, was expecting temperature to rise but it didn't

You give the calpol to help prevent any fever
