Bathing 4-month-old baby after vaccine?

There is no problem with bathing your baby after 4-month vaccines. In fact, a lukewarm bath can soothe some babies who feel slightly uncomfortable after vaccination.
The important point is not to rub or apply a rough cloth to the vaccinated area (usually the outer thigh). Gently wash with lukewarm water—or simply rinse the area and pat gently dry with a towel—is sufficient.
Fever may develop within the first 24 hours after vaccination; this is an expected immune response. A lukewarm bath can be soothing for your baby's comfort, not to lower fever. But if there's a fever, check first: if it's below 38°C, bathing is fine; if above, and your baby is fussy, don't give medication without consulting your pediatrician. After bathing, if the vaccination site shows increasing redness, swelling, or baby cries when touched, consult your pediatrician.
