Hardly any poo after Pc and HIB?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

I haven't vaxed any kids since 2003 but had re-evaluated and decided on selective vaxing DS.  Can someone please remind me if it's normal that DS has hardly pooped since his Pc and HIB shots yesterday??  He's almost 3 months old, and I know they can start spacing out bms at his age, but it seems more than coincidental that up until yesterday he'd been pooping at least two big poops per day and usually another smaller poop.  He's only had about 3 small poops since the shots around 11:30AM yesterday.  He had a slightly elevated temp (99.5) and has been a little irritable and maybe a tad sleepier than usual but not much and no other symptoms...  He's been nursing as usual so I know his input is about the same.  Should I be worried about his output?  He's left little streakers in his dipe (which is annoying since we're ECing and his dipes will be otherwise dry and clean when I potty him, but I have to throw them in the dirty diaper bin anyway due to poo stains), which is usually a sign that he has to go, but so far nothing substantial...

His little system needs time to heal after vaxing.  There are many changes his body is going to go thru in the next few days, so i would think it should work itself out. It may take up to 3 weeks.. Good luck.

Slow GI motility could be attributed to dehydration from fever. The stool may be remaining in the colon longer.  I hope your little one is feeling better soon.
