2 yr Toddler Sleep Issues

Dear Doctors, My son has some concerns I'd like your guidance on. He jerks frequently during sleep and cannot sleep independently. Someone must hold him to sleep, and if left alone he wakes crying within 30 minutes. This started before his eczema diagnosis. He sleeps in fetal position, is a hot sleeper, sweats heavily and loses fluids at night. Sleep heart rate is around 100–120 bpm. Previously seborrheic dermatitis, now atopic dermatitis. Total IgE >2500 with dust mite, fungi and yeast sensitivities. My questions: 1. Could sleep jerking be neurological or allergy related? 2. Is 100–120 bpm normal during sleep? 3. Is poor sleep worsening his skin? 4. Should we do any tests or  scanning? Thank you.

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.

2 month baby sleep

Baby is 2 month 10 days old. Baby had good sleep pattern but for past 3 days the sleep has been disturbed and at night sleeps around 11 or 1 am and then sleeps for about 7-8 hrs with feeds in between. But in Daytime, overall sleep has been reduced to 4-5 hrs. That's also as very short naps like 15 -30 mins sometimes around 1-2 hrs. Baby is well fed, with good urine and stool output. She is active in wake time and only cries when she is unattended and during nights around 8 or 9 pm for the sleep. We have tried dim light and routine sleep place. Her pattern has been changed drastically.
