Rotavirus Oral Vaccine: Baby Diarrhea, Farting & Tummy Pains

Okay so Meili had her Hep B and Dtap jabs and the peppermint flavored rotavirus vaccine orally two days ago. And her fever broke last night after a few hours of fussing. I thought that was the end of it, but I was wrong. 

She wouldn't be put down for most of today. She was in such discomfort. I carried her in the K'tan all day. She would sleep fitfully, not really have an appetite to eat, and cry inconsolably, punctuated by very loud farts. 

It's the end of the day now. Same thing. I just read the side effects of this rotavirus vaccine - diarrhea and vomiting, flatulence and stomach upset. Sigh! I feel so bad that we inflicted this live virus onto baby Meili. 

Here she is passed out from exhaustion after a bout of crying. 

So sorry my poor baby. 

Update 12 am: her adult-proportioned farts and accompanying cries have dissipated into intermittent bum-gurglings and she seems to be sleeping through these. Poor darling.
