4 Months Old Got Shots

by Jennifer
(Des Moines, Iowa)

My 4 month old daughter had shots this morning. Is it okay for her to sleep all day? If I do that, will she sleep tonight?? Should I try and wake her up every few hours?

Let her sleep...
by: Baby Help Line

Hi Jennifer,

I can't say I have any supporting research (more than my kids) to say this, but her sleep. Many babies do after getting their shots, and I suppose they need it.

If you're lucky, she'll have a really good night's sleep too. I remember with my daughter I used to joke with her doctor that I wanted my baby to have shots at least once per week - that was the only time she slept well at night. ;-)

Our youngest wasn't at all as affected. It is very individual.

Maybe she will wake up at night if she does sleep a lot today, but it's just one night...I'd let her have her rest...

Let me know how things went!

4 month shots
by: Anonymous

My grandson was irritable today not the first 24 hours after his shots. Woke up crying out which he normally does not do. Does this sound routine after those 4 shots?
