Sleep reversal? Wonder Week? Vaccines? Cold? Help!

On Friday morning DS got his 4 month vaccines. Starting that afternoon until Sunday morning he was running a fever and miserable. He perked up a little Sunday morning and while still a bit out of his normal, calm element, he seemed fine. That night he didn't want to sleep in his crib so I had him by me in our bed (we bed share every once in a while- flame away). The next morning he had a runny nose and was super cranky. When I tried to feed him his bottle (I EP) he fussed the ENTIRE time before, during and after. Yesterday morning and today he woke up at 4:30a, screaming and crying. I'd get his bottle and have DH feed him while I pumped but he'd keep crying. In addition, this morning he has a distinct cough. Throughout the past few days it seems whenever he is down for a while (like usual when I'm cooking dinner or whatnot) he gets super fussy. He's also a lot crankier than usual in general. Could these be a combination of things? Could he just have a cold and doesn't eat like usual because of it?  He's been STTN since week 8 and is normally a very calm/happy baby. Any ideas? DH and I are getting really exhausted and frustrated that we don't know what to do.

    Could be so many things. If he has a cold and is congested then try elevating his crib mattress a bit (a pillow under head of mattress) this will help drain the nose so he can breathe better.

    Is he pulling at ears?  Could be an ear infection which hurts more when lying down and hurts when sucking/swallowing. 

    Could just be the wonderful 4month wakeful period!

    Hope it smooths out quickly for you all!

    It is possible he is having a reaction to some of the vaccines. I would get him to the doctor. You never know when it might end up even worse than it is now. I would be on high alert to make sure you don't end up with a case of SIDS.

    What an awful thing to say. Nonsensical, too. Being fussy after vaccines does not cause SIDS. What would you expect her doctor to do anyway; say yep, sometimes babies are out of sorts after vaccines?

    OP, it sounds to me like several factors are colliding to give you a hard time. Hope it gets better soon!
