    Mild fever and fussiness after vaccines are common. Ask your paediatrician about paracetamol dosing before giving anything.

    Go to the doctor quickly for high fever, non-stop crying for over 3 hours, or unusual sleepiness.

    Feeding or holding your baby skin-to-skin during the injection can help soothe them.

    Keep the vaccination card safe and bring it every time. Maayesha's baby section also tracks due dates.
