Amoxicillan side effects?

[undecidedowl]

DS2 has been on amoxicillan for 6 days. Daycare just sent a picture of his dirty diaper and his stool was like dark orange. He has also starting refusing his bottles sometime. Normal?

As a side note, I was SO not expecting a picture of a poopy diaper while I was focusing on work!

That is normal. I was shocked the first time my DD had an amox diaper too. It is surprising if no one warns you.

Sounds normal to me.

The bottle refusal may very well be due to a stomach ache. Just continue to monitor.

Normal. I would do probiotics with it. E ended up with a yeast rash one time on it and it just popped up really quick b/c of how bad the diapers are.

Normal. Add some probiotics.

Normal. As I know only too well. Creche sent dd2 home because of the poo convinced she had a tummy bug. They wouldn't listen to our explanation but reluctantly let her back on the Friday (sent home Mon morning!!)

Yes, I was a tad angry...

I'm sure it's normal. I always add probiotics to one bottle but I make extra sure I don't forget when DD is on antibiotics.

[undecidedowl]

Thanks! We have been doing probiotics so far he has been handling it well. We had some really bad experiences with DS1 on antibiotics but apparently I didn't remember the poop color!

Sounds normal undecidedowl. DS always has funky poops on amoxicillin. We do probiotics for that. He also tends to have a reduces appetite.
