Is it normal for baby to sleep more after vaccinations?

Question

My LO is 2 months old and today got his standard vaccinations. He of course cried but calmed down right after. He nursed a couple times too. Only change I've noticed is he is napping. Though that may be normal for most, my LO doesnt really nap during the day. If he does its on me and he'll wake up if I lay him down elsewhere. Well he's currently sleeping very well. Is it normal for babies to feel fatigued after vaccination? I just want to make sure everything is ok.

Answer

I’d watch him really close for a couple weeks to make sure he doesn’t have a reaction, but I think sleeping is mostly normal. Can’t be too careful though. My dog does this after her shots too. It takes a lot out of her 😭 I cry every time because she makes it known she’s uncomfortable

Answer

I miss those vaccine visits! My twins slept so good after them! Now my kids are so old that they have gotten all of them.

Answer

2 month vaccines made my daughter super sleepy and she ate every hour instead of every two hours. 
4 month vaccines were a whole different story. She had a fever, she didn’t feel good, she had a hard time sleeping even though she was exhausted. Poor babe.
