Fussiness after hep B vaccine?

LucyGoosey81

Oh holy hell- last night was the worst everrrrrr!

The pedi told us yesterday that the shot would make him tired, and yes.  Yes it did.  Yesterday afternoon, anyway. 

We put him down at 10:30 pm yesterday, and  he was up at half hour intervals after that.  ALL NIGHT LONG.  He was ANGRY   He's usually a happy, happy guy and last night not so much.  As I'd feed him he'd clamp down on my boob and scream for a couple minutes before resuming eating.  DH and I didn't sleep one bit and I'm pretty sure my nipples now invert when they see him coming.  LOL

The pedi didn't say anything about fussiness/crying though-  did anyone else experience this or is it because he slept all day yesterday and he was no longer tired?

I'm a zombie today   I don't know how you moms with colicky babies do it!  I have so much respect for you!!!

I think it was the full moon. I don't believe in any supersticious crap, but it seems that almost every kid on here last night was up all night.

Thank God DD didn't realize this, but she was unusually fussy at bed time.

The full moon!  Yes- that had to be it...I forgot about that.  Usually I'm not superstitious either, but last night was not right!  LOL

OMG my DD was up all night too.  And the night before she slept a 6 hr stretch.  I'm going with the moon story.

Did you get him 1ml of infant tylenol? DS was SOO cranky two weeks ago (he received two shots) and after the tylenol he slept much better. ?

I didn't give him the tylenol- maybe I should have.  The pediatrician said to give it to him if he got a fever, but when we took his temp it was a perfect 98.6, so we didn't.  I bet that would have made all the difference.
