Default Baby got polio shot and has been spitting up for two days after? - 12-18-2008, 01:06 PM

It's not after every meal (he is breastfeed). He seems pretty happy, with occasional fussiness, but not more than normal. He has been having plenty of wet and poopy diapers. Should I be worried or do babies just have days that they spit up more than others? He is almost 4 months old and for the most part doesn't spit up very often.He doesn't have a temperature and hasn't since the shot.

I don't think that the polio vaccine is responsible for the spitting. The spitting in babies is normal as soon is not interfering with their growth. Sometimes they have a little reflux and again that is not caused by any vaccine.

a little spit up is normal, if he does it with every feed and developes respiratory infections then I would talk to your pediatrician about reflux. Remember to burp your baby after every feed and keep him upright after feeds, hopefully this helps. Since he does not have a fever and is happy I doubt that there is any reaction from his vaccine. Good for you for breastfeeding

I'm a pediatric nurse and increased vomiting or spitting up is not a common side effect of the polio vaccine. It could be that he picked up a little stomach virus while at the doctors or just a coincidence.Hope this helps!
