Why does my baby cry at night after getting a vaccination?

From the day of birth, the baby needs to go to the hospital for vaccination at regular intervals, which is commonly known as vaccination. The purpose of doing this is to prevent babies from getting sick. Most of the time, vaccinations are free, so it can be seen that what our country does in this regard is very much in line with public opinion. So, is it normal for babies to cry at night after getting a vaccination? What’s going on?

After each vaccination, the staff of the epidemic prevention station will write down the time of the next appointment on the vaccination booklet. A few days before this time, mothers should pay attention to the baby's sleep condition, whether there are symptoms of physical discomfort such as colds, fever, or diarrhea, and explain it clearly to the doctor who administers the vaccination. If vaccination is not allowed, then mothers should wait until the baby recovers before vaccinating.

Getting vaccinated when the baby is sick or unwell will make the baby's condition worse and may even cause other adverse reactions. Mothers must pay close attention. When getting vaccinated, babies will be afraid and start crying loudly when their sleeves are taken off. At this time, mothers should encourage and comfort the babies, not be nervous, and try to find ways to distract the babies.

After the injection, you must rest and observe for at least 30 minutes before leaving. If symptoms such as fainting and allergies occur, you must notify emergency treatment immediately. Do not underestimate these 30 minutes. This is the minimum protection for the baby and parents must not ignore it.

Within 48 hours after vaccination, the baby will experience symptoms such as redness and swelling at the vaccination site, irritability, poor appetite, low fever, and sometimes crying at night. These are all normal reactions. As long as the baby drinks plenty of water, the mother does not need to worry too much.
