POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy10 months agoA. Yes, it's normal for some babies to experience mild side effects after vaccinations, such as loose stools or mild diarrhea. This can happen as the body responds to the vaccine and builds immunity. Here’s why this might happen:
1. Vaccine Response: Vaccines stimulate the immune system, which can lead to mild symptoms such as loose stools, irritability, or a slight fever. This is typically a short-term reaction.
2. Gut Sensitivity: Some babies may experience mild gastrointestinal upset (like loose stools) due to the body's immune system reacting to the vaccine, especially with certain vaccines like the rotavirus vaccine.
3. Mild Diarrhea: If the diarrhea is not severe (i.e., no signs of dehydration like dry mouth, fewer wet diapers, or lethargy), it usually resolves within 1-2 days and is not a major concern.
What you can do:
Hydration: Ensure that your baby stays hydrated, especially if there's loose motion. Continue breastfeeding or formula feeding to keep fluid levels up.
Monitor: Keep an eye on your baby's general condition. If the loose stools last more than 2 days or are accompanied by other symptoms (like fever, vomiting, or severe discomfort), it's a good idea to contact your pediatrician.
If the symptoms are mild and resolve within a couple of days, it's usually just a normal response to the vaccination. However, it’s always best to consult with your pediatrician if you’re concerned or if the symptoms persist.
