With your first baby, asking questions is so natural. Baby aspirin—the active ingredient is acetaminophen, not aspirin—doesn't cause diarrhea. The main side effects might be mild nausea or a light rash.
One big thing to know: "baby aspirin" isn't actually aspirin—real aspirin in babies is dangerous (it can cause Reye syndrome), so babies never get true aspirin. What's sold as "baby aspirin" is acetaminophen-based fever reducer.
Here's what matters most: don't give your baby any medicine without talking to your doctor first, because the dose changes based on age and weight. Diarrhea could have another cause (teething, food sensitivity, infection)—your pediatrician can sort that out.
