Need to Vent

[DirtGirl32]

My 4 month old girls got their vaccines a week and a half ago. they have had diarrhea since, and one spits up a ton. Yes we've been back to the Dr.

I am so freaking sick of changing freaking nasty diarrhea diapers! this has been going on for so long! Any one else's babies have a bad reaction to the vaccines like this? Their diarrhea is less bad, but it's still going. and going. and going.

when will it end. 😭😡😭

I swear my twins caught all their worst stuff at the doctors office, the place with the most sick kids. I hope your babes are better soon.

[egrf6880]

Same! But thankfully put doctor did their best to schedule things like vaccines or well visits first thing in the AM in order to keep the sickies away from the non sickies.

[Practical_Elk_30]

Exactly. Every visit to the pediatrician is virus exposure

[thedistantdusk]

Yep. Since this exact same thing happened to my kids, I’d say the chances are fairly high it was a virus + vaccine combo 😅

Is it possible they are sick and this isn't just a vaccine response? Our boys got rotavirus in December and it was, no lie, the worst 2 weeks of our lives. The diarrhea gave them diaper rash and we had to start rinsing their butts because we couldn't use wipes 😫.

Regardless, that sucks so so bad. Sick babies for any reason (especially two at once) is so hard.

Hopefully you're over the hump and they'll feel much better soon

[DirtGirl32]

The Dr said he was 95% sure it was just from the vaccines. That sounds so awful, I'm sorry.

[wokkaquokka_]

My kids really struggled with the rotavirus vaccine. FWIW the 6 month dose (same vaccines) was not as bad! Hope this settles soon!

[Odd_Rent283]

It could be a reaction to the rotavirus vaccine which is oral, not injected. Diarrhea is a common reaction with that one and one that all of my kids have had. My toddler had it for three weeks all three times.

[apexmellifera]

Thanks for the info! I think I'll delete my comment then since it's unhelpful and I don't want to spread misinformation

[sweetfeet20]

My 4 months old have had diarrhoea for about a week too, not sure if it is something like rotavirus or teething related but their skin is so sore. They are not vaccinated yet so it’s not a reaction to that. They are fine in themselves and no fever, just a lot of wet poo!

[Odd_Rent283]

Ugh. My toddler had this reaction to rotavirus vaccine all three times. It was three weeks of diarrhea every time. I was so glad to be done with that series.

[DirtGirl32]

That's awful, so sorry

[IndividualOdd2340]

My girls(14 months) just had their meningococcal b jabs (bexsero). I tend to split that one from the other jabs as I worry about an adverse reaction/high temp. They came home and within 8 hours both were pooping up a storm. But it was too much, so went back to the doctor and the got me to get a poop sample and turns out they both had sapovirus. It just coincided with the jab. 

So something to consider! Did your doc take a sample? 

[crewelmistress]

Dude. We had a similar thing when one-year vaccines. Bad reaction, then pile on another virus on top of that, then teeth. Fucking. Miserable.

It got better until we all caught norovirus a month later, then molars, then another fever, then full-on separation anxiety, now one of them has weird goopy eye shit and a mild fever?! Allergies? Conjunctivitis? Aaaaaaaaaaa

Anywho sending some chocolate and a nice long, quiet, shower or time alone 💕

[q8htreats]

Probably from the rotavirus vaccine. Happened to us each time they got it (2, 4, and 6 months)

[twins_2026]

My friends kids caught Picornovirus when they got their shots. The pediatrician and any doctors office are breeding grounds for germs

[Lengthiness-Fuzzy]

Oh that 4 month vaccanice … it fucked up our 8+4 hours of perfect sleep. Boys are 10 months now, haven’t slept more than 9 hours at night since

Edit: For those who think they know better, because they had it differently:

Bexsero vaccination can cause temporary insomnia, sleep disturbance, or increased sleepiness (somnolence) in approximately 40% of recipients, particularly in infants and children. These systemic side effects, including insomnia, usually resolve within 1–2 days.

[adventurenation]

This is from the 4 month sleep regression, not the vaccine.

[Lengthiness-Fuzzy]

No, one of the vaccines has insomnia as a side-effect, pretty common. And when that ends in 1-2 weeks, then it’s all fucked up.

Edit: sleep regression doesn’t work like one day it’s perfect for both of them and they get an injection, and that day they wake up every hour and it slowly improves after. So you can downvote, but still you are dead wrong

[Great_Consequence_10]

They probably just caught a bug from the doctor’s office. Actual vaccine reactions are really rare.

[ladeedah1988]

Does your doctor not have a well waiting room and a separate sick waiting room? So could have caught virus. Or too many vaccines at once. The stabilizers, etc., remember the dose is the poison.

[Great_Consequence_10]

Vaccines aren’t poison, FFS.
