After the rotavirus vaccine, my baby's stools got looser. Is this temporary diarrhea from the vaccine?

Slight loosening of stools may appear after the rotavirus vaccine. Since the vaccine contains a live but weakened virus, a mild reaction in the intestines is expected. It usually appears within 5-7 days after the vaccine and clears up on its own within 1-2 days. If baby is nursing well, has normal wet diapers, and no fever, no additional treatment is needed. But if stools are very frequent, continuously watery, bloody, or contain mucus, or if baby shows weakness, fever, dry mouth, or hasn't urinated for more than 8 hours, I recommend consulting your pediatrician.
