This morning DD had some blood in her diaper after pooping. She did have a hard nugget poop and was really trying hard to poop for a good 5 minutes. I know the blood is probably from trying to poop a hard poop, but it is still disturbing to see that. The Pedi office opens in about 10 minutes and I am going to call to find out if he wants me to bring her in or not. Has anyone had this happen and what did you do for your lo??
Re: Blood in diaper this morning.
It could be fissures from pushing hard.Or it could be a food intolerance/allergy.The doctor can test you for the latter.
I'd give her prunes or pear/pear juice while you're waiting to see your doctor.
Btw, your girls are soooo cute!
Thanks!! I actually talked to the nurse at the Pedi's office a few minutes ago and she said to give her some prune juice over the next couple days to soften her stool. She said she could have a small tear from pushing really hard since her poop was hard.
We had a scare on Tuesday. LO had diarrhea Sunday/Monday. I called the 24 hour on-call nurse hotline and they told me it was most likely from the antibiotics he had just been put on...it was a side effect. LO was happy for the first time in three days, so he was fine. I was relieved. Is she on antibiotics?
