The definition for colic is at least 3 hours of crying, although there is no evidence that colic is due to gas. This is also when you start having to worry about colic. This is when you can revert to diapering before feeding if you prefer (I prefer not to have a damp diaper on me, in case it leaks). It was taking longer for the gas to come out, sometimes not at all. Phase 2: gas issues get worseĪs our baby got a couple of weeks older, this feed-before-diapering trick seemed to stop working. It doesn’t work 100%, but it does save you 9 out of 10 times. Our easy solution is to feed the baby before changing her diaper: this buys you 10-20 min of farting time. It takes a while for the gas to come out, which is an issue in the middle of the night when you want to get back to bed ASAP.
When she awakens and starts to move, the gas gets dislodged, increasing the chances of having your precious little one fart-poop on you when you change her diaper. When a baby is sleeping soundly and not moving, the built-up gas in her tummy is trapped.
It took us a few days, but we figured out how to deal with the projectile poop Russian roulette. Phase 1: projectile poop, easily dislodged gas At some point, you’ll realize that the baby farts when you change her, and that fart sometimes comes with a fountain of poop. Hurray for that! However, you’ll start to hear farts from the baby, and you’ll realize that there are dry farts, and wet sounding farts that have poop with them. Some time in the 2 nd week or so, your little angel will stop having sticky poops and start having seedy and liquid poop. It’s projectile poop and a phobia of opening up a diaper, until you learn to deal with it. Since not all babies are colicky, I skipped reading up about gas…but you shouldn’t. VAERS is only for reporting reactions, and VAERS staff members do not give medical advice.I’ve seen the word ‘gas’ many times in the books and websites I’ve been reading about babies, but it’s usually connected to colic. Visit the VAERS website external icon or call 1-80. Your health care provider will usually file this report, or you can do it yourself.
If you see signs of a severe allergic reaction (hives, swelling of the face and throat, difficulty breathing, a fast heartbeat, dizziness, or weakness), call 9-1-1 and get the person to the nearest hospital.įor other signs that concern you, call your health care provider.Īdverse reactions should be reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Tell them when your baby got rotavirus vaccine.Īn allergic reaction could occur after the vaccinated person leaves the clinic. If you can’t reach your health care provider, take your baby to a hospital. If you think your baby has intussusception, contact a health care provider right away.
These signs would usually happen during the first week after the first or second dose of rotavirus vaccine, but look for them any time after vaccination. Your baby might also vomit several times or have blood in the stool, or could appear weak or very irritable. Babies might pull their legs up to their chest.
Early on, these episodes could last just a few minutes and come and go several times in an hour. For intussusception, look for signs of stomach pain along with severe crying.
