  Will's doing the same thing after his yesterday. I think it's totally normal. I gave him Tylenol for the fever and am letting him sleep as much as he can.

  Yes, sounds normal to me.  DS slept so much the day of and after his 2-mo vaccinations.

  Yes, it's normal.  Just be vigilant and make sure that he is still responsive to things that he would normally be.  Our DS slept a ton after his first shots, and my MIL was freaking out that something "wasn't right".  I felt like it was all fine.  After DS's 2nd round of shots, it was NOT normal and he had a very uncommon reaction.  So, trust your gut - it's worth getting checked out if there's something that's truly "not right."  (Our first pedi chalked it all up to "normal", but the pedi neuro did NOT.  We've since changed pedis, too.)  I know ours was the exception and not the rule, but it is good to just be more watchful and aware.  If the fever is too high, then get him to the doc or ER!  Always better to be safe than sorry.

  I remember my little guy slept a lot too after shots. If he is running a temp give him a little Tylenol for the fever and it will help him feel better too!
