My twins got their 4 month shots yesterday and my son is doing a lot of crying and spitting up. Is this a side effect of the shots, he doesnt have a temp. My daughter is just on the sleepy side.

All kids react differently but this is completely normal. My son would be MISERABLE after shots for about 2-3 days. My daughter would just sleep if off. Tylenol and some extra attention is all you can really do. If it continues, contact your doctor.

Probably. My daugher would get very sleepy and cranky after shots. Next time you go, just give them some Tylenol about a half hour before they get the shots...it seems to help a lot. On the bright side, the side effects seem to go away the older your children get!

Perfectly normal. Just wait until they realize that going to the doctor means getting a shot (because kids get so many in the first 2 years). My daughter just had her 15 month checkup today and she was screaming as soon as she saw the needle and a good 5 minutes after the shot :)

Most babies get cranky after their shots, normally due to the pain of the shot and the effects the drugs have thier on thier little bodies. It should be over within the week otherwise you should take him in to get him checked out.

it is usually normal, but if it last for more than a day you need to call the dr and let them know. Some kids are allergic to meds in the shots (not very many though). My kids did this with their shots, well one did, the other one was as though nothing happened.

Both of my boys always acted cranky and sometimes just "off" the day after they got their needles. It's probably just a side effect, but just keep an eye on it and if you're really concerned call your dr or call tele health.

The medical industry will tell you that those symptoms are fairly "normal" after getting vaccinations.
Do some of your own research about the problems associated with vaccines. The pharmeceutical industries are mostly out to make money on these....if they had our best interests at heart why did they have to go so far to protect themselves against civil suits when vaccinations go bad? If your child died from a vaccine, you wouldn't be able to sue.
