How long does it take for a baby to lose appetite after getting vaccinated?

Patient's question:

My baby is four months old this year. After getting his vaccinations, he always refuses to breastfeed when he comes home. But he also cries non-stop because he hasn't been fed, and because he hasn't eaten, he doesn't sleep at night. I've tried everything but nothing works. I'd like to ask the doctor how long it usually takes for a baby to lose interest in breastfeeding after getting vaccinations.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, usually, anorexia does not occur much within 24 hours after vaccination. Observe if he has a fever. If it exceeds 38 degrees, you need to use fever-reducing medication. If he does not drink milk, you should also observe if there are any ulcers in his mouth, because some children suddenly stop drinking milk because it is painful when sucking milk, so they dare not suck. Wishing your baby good health.
