18 month old vaccination
Hello,
My daughter is 18 month old and we got her vaccination done yesterday at a govt UPHC (DPT booster, Rubella etc). Since then, she isn't walking/willing to move her legs. She is sitting in only one position and isn't moving. I understand it must be painful for her but just want to ask if this is normal or should we again see her regular doctor?
She got one shot on her thigh and one on her arm.
She also isn't letting us put ice pack on the injection site. She had fever yesterday night and We are giving her paracetamol syrup (only if fever is there) as prescribed by the UPHC doctor. Her appetite has drastically dropped since yesterday too.
Please help me with your valuable suggestions. We are very worried.
Thank you.

Weight plateau of 3 month old
I want to get guidance regarding my baby’s weight. She is currently 3 months 2 days old.
Her weight on 07th april was 4.9 kg and was around 5.2 kg on 17th April. When checked again on 24th April, it was 5.2 kg. This suggests there has been little to no weight gain over the past 7–8 days.
In terms of other parameters:
She is active and alert
Urine output is good and frequent
Feeding is regular (I have been ensuring frequent and effective feeds)
Apart from weight, she has shown good length growth. Her birth height was 46 cm, on 07th April it was 56.8 cm and on the 24th April it is around 60-61 cm. Lately, she has also started to appear leaner compared to earlier.
Could you please advise if this short plateau in weight gain is acceptable at this stage. She is exclusively breastfed and takes 9-10 feeds in 24 hours.
She also gives longer stretch of sleep at night with 1-2 feeds or maybe none sometimes.

Height and weight gain
My child is 6 year old (girl). She hits all milestones on time and is active. Birth weight was 3.11 kg but we have faced struggle in weight gain in later years.
Her appetite is much better now. She eats nutritious food and loves fruits and vegetables. Not a picky eater. Currently she is only 15kg and 108 cm in height. We try to include more protien ( vegetarian). However now seeing other kids who has similar diet or even picky eaters developing body well, we are wondering whether we should be worried?
Any tests or examinations to be done? Or are we worrying simply
