I would give ibuprofen for vaccinations as soon as we got home from the pediatrician (when a fever was likely from the particular vaccination). Other than that, I based giving it upon discomfort and degree. Anything over 102 usually got ibuprofen, under that, it depended.
I do understand how upsetting it is to have an uncomfortable baby. With an older child, they can say what hurts and what helps. Until they have acquired language, it is much harder.
