After 8 weeks rotavirus vaccine my baby started to have watery poo. It is one month now since vaccination and she still having poo like on the picture. Is that normal ?
Baby is mix fed, mainly formula as I don’t have enough of milk.
P. S sorry for the picture 😂

I chose not to vaccinate my second baby, seen so many bad things about it. My first baby had that sort of poo when we found out he developed lactose intolerance. You should speak to your GP about it for sure.

This looks like an allergy not rotavirus, I’d contact your GP. My son had similar and it was cows milk protein allergy (it was very mucusy and almost frothy?) not sure if this is similar

I've breastfed since day 1, never given formula and ours has always looked similar to this. I mentioned it loads to HV, midwives etc and noone seemed concerned cus breastfed can be like this. I'm ftm so I don't have any reference as to what's normal but trusting them for now. Waiting for weaning to see what happens then as can't be a cows milk allergy 😂

could you registered the little one to nursery without vaccinations. Unfortunately, we can’t afford to stay home after 11 months

I don’t think there will be any issue with that if she needs to go to a nursery, why would that be a problem? One would think, if she gets anything that she hasn’t been vaccinated against, the other kids would be, right? Besides, some of the vaccines are for sexual transmitted diseases or diseases that have been eradicated already seems a bit odd to me that a baby would need those. When I put my eldest in the nursery they did not ask me to see his red book, or inquired me about vaccines, it was private though, not sure what government nurseries would be like.

My LG has the exact same thing, started after her 8 week rotavirus jab and has been going on since. as it's unusual to last for that long, the GP has now sent off a stool sample and we've paused the next rotavirus dosage at her 12 week jabs, she'll have it once everything is consistent again

we sent a sample as well. Awaiting the results…we skip as well her 12 weeks jab too

did yours have any other symptoms? The GPs said intolerances or similar seems unlikely as she has absolutely nothing else, no rash and no other symptoms except her poo

no symptoms…is happy as usually and we using the same formula since we realised that is not getting enough breast milk day 3

we've had results back yesterday and they were normal. The GP will refer us to the community pediatrician to see how long we should let this go on for before introducing any medication / further tests. Have you had your results back yet?

yesterday they called us to the gp. Sample come normal and they said will contact the paediatrician for advice because the little one start to have and mucus as well in her stool. Surprised or not today they come back to us saying that is normal and to have the rotavirus vaccine second dose 😏 please let me know what was your outcome
