sleep pattern messed up after jabs

Hi,

my DD (14 weeks) was generally sleeeping quite well (bath, massage & bed around 8pm) until she had her 2nd set of jabs (8 days ago), she's now not going to sleep unil around 4am :-(

We tried to encourage her back to more sociable hours by moving the bedtime routine to around 11pm, but she just started crying as soon as we tried to put her to bed.

So we stopped the bedtime routine as we were worried she'd start associating baths with screaming rather than sleep!

She starts looking sleepy around 8pm, so we pop her in her bed (either sleeping bag or swaddled) but she starts crying so we calm her down and try again... and can end up repeating this many, many times

she doesn't really have scheduled daytime naps, but i feed her every 3 hrs and try to keep her awake for 1.5hrs between feeds.

Any suggestions? Should we just live with it for a few weeks & hope she'll slowly sort herself out? Perhaps wait until thr next set of jabs and hope they knock her back into a good time?!
