Blood in stools
My Baby is now 3 1/2 month old , since 10 days she passing stools 7-8 times with mucus, few days in between stools were green colour, doctor told me nothing to worry as baby on breastfeeding, but since 2 days she is not drinking milk and now i noticed blood in her stools , i am worried is it because of infection or any other problems , kindly suggest me
Hi
Well done on picking up the issue.
As you say, there is some concerns about the babies health.
Babies should not struggle to feed and should not pass blood in stool. One of common causes is Milk allergy. And as you said she is being breast fed, they can still have it when u drink cows milk or consume dairy products.
If the child has fever , then it's an emergency. Please see you pediatrician and ask them to rule out milk allergy , infections by doing stool test ..remember even in breast feeding they can have cows milk allergy
