Being slightly dull and lethargic is ok during fever. And we know the cause of fever is the vaccination.
But 4 hrs feeding is too long. Try feeding at least 3hrly.
And latching of 20 mins minimum, alternated every 2/3 hourly on each breast is a good time.
U may express and give your milk if that helps , for 2-3 days till fever lasts.
If issue still persists, u need to consult with a Pediatrician on video/in person for the same
Next Steps
Consult sos is problem persists, 5 mins every 4 hourly is not enough, u need to increase the feeds, else the baby will become sick
