Newborns cry after vaccination_Newborns cry at night after vaccination

I believe many people know that after a newborn is born, the body's immunity and various functions are in a developmental stage. This means they need to be vaccinated at a very young age to protect themselves against certain diseases. Usually, after vaccination, there will not be much impact on people's bodies. However, some newborn babies will cry incessantly after receiving vaccination. When this situation occurs, many parents don’t know the cause, let alone how to solve it.

As a biological product, the vaccine can stimulate the baby's body to produce specific protective antibodies after vaccination. However, some babies will experience adverse reactions such as fever, rash, and diarrhea after vaccination.

Preparation before vaccination:

1. Good mental state

Vaccination should be performed when the baby is in high spirits and emotionally stable. This will not only help to complete the vaccination process smoothly, but also better guide the baby to face the issue of "taking medicine and injections" calmly.

Because the baby's immunity will decrease temporarily after vaccination, it is easy for the baby to catch a cold and become ill during the bathing process. Therefore, it is not recommended to bathe the baby on the day of vaccination. Giving your baby a hot bath the day before vaccination can not only avoid unhygienic practices, but also allow your baby to sleep more soundly that night, ensuring that he is in the best mental state the next day.

2. Healthy physical condition

As the vaccination time approaches, the mother should observe the baby's physical and mental state at least two days in advance, measure the baby's temperature every day, and inform the doctor of the baby's recent health status before vaccination.

If the baby has a cold, diarrhea, fever, vomiting, or is taking medicine or in a poor mental state, it is not suitable for vaccination. The mother needs to consult a doctor in advance to find out clearly and reschedule the vaccination date after the baby recovers.

3. Reasonable vaccination time

Vaccinations should be scheduled in the morning. Before vaccination, do not let your baby do strenuous activities, because the baby will sweat profusely and easily catch cold and get sick after strenuous activities.

4. Complete documents and items

First of all, you need to bring your vaccination certificate, and secondly, you need to bring items such as milk powder, water bottles, snacks, diapers, wet wipes, thin sheets, small toys, etc. It is best to bring a set of clothes to change in case the baby gets wet. Naturally, the items you need to bring when going out should be increased or decreased based on actual conditions.

Normal reactions to vaccination

1. Because there are adsorbents in the diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus vaccine, some babies may experience nodules and pain at the injection site. This is generally a normal reaction to vaccination and will disappear on its own within 24 to 48 hours.

2. After vaccination, some babies may develop low fever (below 38.5℃) and general discomfort, irritability, poor drinking and eating, etc. These are common reactions to vaccination and will return to normal after 1 to 2 days, so mothers don't need to be too nervous.

Reminder: Normal reactions, whether local or systemic, generally do not require special treatment. Just drink plenty of water, pay attention to your baby's diet, and let your baby rest more.

Unusual reactions after vaccination

1. Local infection, sterile abscess, rash, angioedema, etc. are abnormal reactions and you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible and contact the vaccination unit.

2. If anaphylactic shock occurs after vaccination, you should lie down immediately, lower your head, take warm water or sugar water orally, and be sent to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment after emergency symptomatic treatment.
