4 month shots

[baytosa2013]

Talk to me about how your babies did with their shots.  C had her Monday and yesterday afternoon at daycare started having diarrhea.  She woke up at 3am and I went to change her because I could smell it and in the middle of the change she literally squirted.  Completely gross I know but it was like water.  She is still eating normally and acting like a happy baby, although spitting up a bit more.  I'm calling the Dr this morning but I'm hoping someone will tell me that this might be a normal reaction to shots?

DD had her shots on Monday, She was extra cuddly and slept a lot but thats it. no wierd stomach issues. But something is going around so it could just be the timing, Hope she feels beter soon!

Not with her 4 month shots, but with her 2 month shots (which I believe are the same set).

We ended up having to take C to the ER the day after her 2 month shots because she was super pukey and was getting dehydrated. With her 4 month shots, she was fine.

I think it's normal, but you can always call the doctor for reassurance. That's what they're there for!

Thanks ladies. I had to go get her from daycare and she had another blowout. I have a call in to the dr. She luckily drank a 4oz bottle and is sleeping right now. I'm trying not to completely freak out.

I believe the real danger would be dehydration. As long as she is getting enough fluids and having enough pee diapers (probably hard to tell if she is having diarrhea), she should be fine.

Hope the Dr. calls you back soon and tells you it's nothing to worry about!

Also, I hope she feels better soon. It's so hard when they don't feel good.

T had his yesterday. Sleepy evening, sore legs today, and a good poop this morning (overdue for that!). Grumpy today, but nothing a little ibuprofen can't fix.

budders, that sounds awful! I would have cried too. I hope he is doing better now!

I thought it was no ibuprofen before 6 mos? Did that change?

Has anyone pre-dosed acetaminophen for the 4 month shots? Z will have to go to school after, so I don't want him to be miserable, but I don't want to give it to him unnecessarily either.

Similar to budders, maybe you should wait until after the shots to give it to him, but before you get to school.  That way the effects of it will last longer while you are there.

Hi just wanted to come back to update. I was out of work with her yesterday too...poor thing had diarrhea for basically 3 days straight. She continued to drink her bottle and we gave her a probiotic per the Dr recommendation. Last night we ended up giving her a tsp of oatmeal cereal in her last 2 bottles of the day. She didn't have any more diarrhea and just a hefty pee diaper at 2:30am. She woke up and was really crying though because of gas. I gave her some gas drops and 2oz of formula and finally got her back to sleep. This morning she had a fairly normal poop FINALLY so I think the cereal helped. Just called to check on her at day care and they said she is a tad bit more fussier than her normal self but otherwise is doing well and no diarrhea. I'm going to dread shots again in 2 months but at least i'll have the cereal handy.
