Color change in stool

2026-11-09 12:18:54
Doctor, my baby is 1.5 months old and is exclusively breastfed. I noticed a thin streak of red colour, which looks like blood, in the baby’s stool. This is the first time I have noticed it. The stool is otherwise yellow. The baby is active, feeding well, and has no other symptoms. Could you please check whether this could be due to an anal fissure or cow’s milk protein allergy?

As it is first episode it is difficult to exclude the above said conditions as both conditions can cause blood in stools. If you notice further 2-3 episodes consult your paediatrician as it is important to rule out CMPA and other surgical conditions.
