Carefully observe your baby for any unusual changes. Focus on feeding patterns. Decreased appetite or difficulty latching could indicate a problem. Monitor bowel movements; note any changes in frequency, consistency, or color. Pay close attention to your baby’s skin. Look for rashes, unusual discoloration, or excessive dryness.
Common Side Effects to Note
Diarrhea is a possible side effect. Track the frequency and consistency of your baby’s stools. Vomiting, another potential side effect, warrants immediate attention, especially if it’s forceful or persistent. Sleep disturbances, such as fussiness or difficulty settling, are also worth monitoring. Note changes in your baby’s alertness. Unusual lethargy or excessive irritability require prompt medical attention.
When to Contact Your Doctor
Immediately contact your pediatrician if you notice any severe reactions, such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or a high fever. Also, call your doctor if your baby experiences prolonged diarrhea, persistent vomiting, significant changes in their feeding habits, or unusual skin reactions. Document the timing and nature of any observed symptoms for your doctor.
