Baby diarreah/upset tummy - should i postpone first vaccination?

8 week old is due her first immunisations next week but for the last couple of days shes had greenish mucousy nappies which i understand might be a bit of an upset tummy (she is exclusively breast fed).

Should i rearrange the jabs for the following week? Im going to call the GP on monday but i know they are likely to say she should stillgo ahead and have them, however the reason im a little concerned is that i've heard that vaccinating straight after a tummy bug might not be a goodidea, though i cant remember where i heard this, id like to feel a bit more informed before ispeak the GP

Does anyone here know anything about this kind of thing?

Any kind of vaccination is prohibited specially in diarrhea.As may create complication.Generally any kind of vaccination may cause a rise in body temperature of the recipient.So you should wait for few days till the recovery from diarrhea and then go for the vaccination.
