Do shots make your baby cranky?
Kevin just had 2 shots, one of which was the Hib vaccine. Last time all it made him do was sleep. Since Tuesday he has been so cranky and irritable. Yesterday he pretty much cried all day. I was crying by the time my husband came home from work I just couldn't take it any more.
He's a bit better today but I'm worried he's going to be cranky again tomorrow and I have to take him with me to my doctor's appointment.
Anyone else go through this?

Yes, for Christopher's 2-month shots, he was MISERABLE afterwards for a few days. He was very cranky and irritable. He goes for his 3-month shots soon and I'm really worried about going through it again.

Yes...the two month shots were terrible. However, the 4 month shots were not that bad and they were the same ones as he got for 2 months...

I always give my son tylenol after his shots just for prevention

No reaction here - in fact once Nick laughed, and once he did not feel the shot because his leg was so chubby. But last time (12 months) they did the shots in the arm, and he screamed bloody murder. But he was fine 5 minutes later....

Same here. I used to bring it in with me to the ped. office for the visit and would give it to my kids before leaving. Worked like a charm.

Re: Do shots make your baby cranky?
We are getting our 2 month shots today!! Yuck!! Even after 3 kids, I am still sick to my stomach thinking about this for my little guy! What makes it worse is that my 2 daughters don't know it yet, but they are getting the flu shot at the same visit today!!! Toys R us will make a killing off of us tonight!!!! My kids were always cranky but not too extreme! I'm hoping my little guy is a toughy!!

My kids (I have 3) have never had a reaction to the flu shot.
I hope your kiddies do great with the shots.

Not usually cranky - but more lethargic. Only the prevnar (sp?) makes him runa slight fever and a little irritable...but mor wher eyou want to hug him since he gets so sleepy and lethargic.
