• Read the Vaccine Information Sheet(s) your baby’s doctor gave you to learn about side effects your baby may experience.
• Swaddle.
• Offer breastmilk or formula more often. It is normal for some babies to eat less during the 24 hours after getting vaccines.
• Pay extra attention to your baby for a few days. If you see something that concerns you, call your baby’s doctor.

Treat mild reactions from vaccines:

• Use a cool, damp cloth to help reduce redness, soreness, and/or swelling at the injection site.

• Ask your child’s doctor if you can give your child a non-aspirin pain reliever.
