Baby constipated after rota virus vaccine

My now 15 week old ds hasn't pooed for either 5 or 7 days now (I remember one last Tuesday which was after 2 days, trying to remember if there was one on Thursday). He had the rota virus vaccine at 13 weeks and after initial explosive poos has swung the other way.

He's ebf so I know they can do this sometimes however his farts are very sulphurous so I think it's still the vaccine working it's way out.

(I also accidentally got some of the vaccine, had 12 hours of d and then a few days of constipation but then was fine.)

Just wondering at what point to worry / query it with gp - but I don't think there's much that can be done?

He's quite refluxy; I'm not sure if it's making it worse or not at the moment.

Any experience?

My baby is 4 months now and had the toto one a few weeks back. He went 4/5 days without a poo and then had several very explosive ones and still has very smelly farts and can go a week without a poo!! And then 3 on one day. Spoke to doctors and apparently it's normal! He's also ebf. Don't know if that helps!

Ah right sounds very like what's going on here, thanks!

Did he seem uncomfortable at all? He's increasingly fussy about bf and is a bit whingy today today but I could put that down to just being 15 weeks!

Sorry forgot to check back. Yes he gets a bit uncomfy n wriggly and out of sorts! Always happier after he's filled his nappy!
