Did your baby get real sleepy for a day or 2 afterwards?

Her shots haven't normally made her sleepy, but today she seems to want to sleep a lot. So I'm wondering if it's the flu shot, since that can make you feel kind of crappy before it starts to work.

:shrug

My kids are ALWAYS sleepy the day they get the shots and they all get knots for a few days at the site of the shot. Elizabeth had her round of 5 year shots a few weeks ago and with one of her shots she got a rash in the area with a knot and her arm swelled for a few days.

Yeah they tend to get sleepy, cranky, have less of an appetite and sometimes run a low grade fever.

Yeah massage it and use a warm compress, a warm washrag is what I use.

Taylor slept almost 3 hours after she got her flu shot yesterday. It can make them sleepy.

My girls always slept after their shots. I gave them tylenol and that helped with the pain to
