Default Question about baby taking Antibiotic

I found a bit of what appears to be mucous in Morgan's diaper and in her
vaginal area.

Could the antibiotics have given her a yeast infection as they sometimes do
to us?


Certainly could, but mucous isn't a symptom of yeast infections. The
discharge with yeast infections should be more white cottage-cheesy.
The skin of her vagina would also likely look somewhat angry-red.

(Of course now someone will post saying their experience was totally
different, but generally the above is true.)
