Diarrhea/Lots of Poop after shots?? Help

DD had her shots the day b4 Thanksgiving (4 months) & since then has had poopie diapers 4-5x a day. Before this she was going once a day. Should I be worried? Thanks. (She's otherwise fine).

She's also starting to get a little diaper rash (for the first time ever)

Sorry, just looking for some help..

did she happen to have the rotavirus vaccine? If so, that causes lots of poop. Happened to my son and I posted about it here. He was otherwise fine like you said. HTH.

my DD just had her 6 month shots last Saturday (which with the exception of the flu shot, were the same as 4 months) and she has had loose, smelly poops since Monday. At first she threw up on Sunday after each bottle and the doctor thought it may be from the rotovirus vaccine but when she went to daycare Monday she started with the runny poops but some other babies had it too, so we thought it was a virus. She had continued since then, every diaper is loose, but it's getting better. The doctor said as long as they are not mucousy or bloody no need to worry. I read she could have it for seven days as a side effect of the vaccine. He said keep her hydrated & watch for other signs, but so far, she is fine, eating & sleeping as usual, etc. Today is day 6 & it is getting better.
