Normal baby poo? TW image!

Warning - poo image below!

My 11 week old had very regular poo 5/6 times a day until 3 weeks ago when she had the rotavirus/8 week vaccinations. Didn't poo for days and now only poos once a day or less but it is EXPLOSIVE - as in can't be contained by nappy and we have to run to the bathroom as soon as we hear her going! A nightmare!

This morning's is typical - lots of it and very very liquid. She's EBF, has never had formula and I haven't changed my diet. She is otherwise fine - feeding well, gaining weight and very happy in herself. Do you think it's normal? Any advice welcomed! Thanks

Mine had the same, I called the GP super concerned and then GP was really dismissive and went “she has an all liquid diet what do you expect her poo to look like”. Well it didn’t look like that before? He then said if she’s well and the only reason I have called is her poo then to not worry. He was dismissive and I was annoyed at the time but she was fine. I would still consult a health professional like a GP or health visitor to be on the safe side. But if it helps my daughter was exactly the same and it was all fine in the end.

Thanks that's helpful to hear! I will phone HV tomorrow. I did mention at GP appointment but they weren't interested - although that was v soon after the vaccine so thought it would pass.
