On my 1st period postpartum, baby has diarrhea...any connection between the 2?

Shelley
As the title says...-I'm on my first period, my son is 8.5 months old and I was exclusively breastfeeding him. But since we're giving him lots of solids now and not breastfeeding as much I guess my body thought it was time to start the periods :( anyway..he has been having diarrhea yesterday and today so I'm wondering if it has anything to do with it? I am taking painkillers for my cramps..  Also a first time mom here so I'm new to everything lol any insight would be appreciated, thank you :)
