Looks like your baby is bit sensitive.if given painless vaccine,usually there is no fever, only swelling.anyway give crocin 4 hourly and apply ice on affected leg.
If on breast feeds,and if there is only increase in number of stools, dont worry..
Next Steps
if feeling too concerned, can contact your primary care giver..

It is of no consequence . Go on giving the crocin drops for a couple of days for pain/ fever( 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher)

Even with painless dpt there might be some pain or swelling which are common. Usually there won't be any fever. It will improve in next 24 hrs.

Passing stool number of times in 6 wks old breast fed baby is normal . You should notice that the baby passes urine minimum 6-7 times in 24 hrs .
If temp is more than 100 F you can repeat paracetamol at 4 hrs interval
Health Tips
Just oberve if the baby is feeding well & passing urine .
