2 month vaccination and now really crabby

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

We got the shot last week Thursday and was fine that night but starting Friday night at 6:30-9 she is extremely fussy and her cries are different like she is in pain. She also has been more gassy  than usual and I thought it could be the gas thing but I have no idea. We have given her tynenol every night since Friday thinking she was in pain and it seems to help after 20 minutes, doctor said it was ok.

She is on medication for reflux so that is also an issue with her but nothing has changed with her formula or meds. It all started after these shots, I just don't know if this is a normal thing or what? She also is starting to drool really bad, so bad it soaks her shirts. Could my 9 week old baby be teething already too? So many questions I'm sorry just trying to let you know all about what is going on and maybe figure out what is making my baby so upset. TIA!

    If you have a brochure it should read that DTaP shots can cause irritability for up to a week!  My DS just went thru that & it lasted 5-6 days, each day the crabbiness would set in later & later until it just disappeared.  It also causes soreness so she probably is in pain. My guy was for the first day or 2. As for the drool that's normal for my boy but if yours is drooling b/c of the vax that's obviously not normal.

    My LO went through the same crabbiness after her 2 mth vaccinations. In fact, about 4 days her shots it was the hardest day I've ever had with her (inconsolable crying, uncharacteristic fussiness for her).

    About the drooling, my LO started this around 9 wks too so I think that's probably normal, but guess it never hurts to ask the ped if you're concerned.
