Are Red Specks In Bowel Movement A Cause Of Concern?
My daughter is 7 months and has 3 small chili like red specs in her bowel movement. The stool looks normal otherwise but the specs are concerning to me. She is exclusively breastfed and we have recently introduced some solids in to her diet. Please advise.

Hi...the red specks could be a vegetable matter as you have recently introduced solids in her feeds. The other possibility is that it could be cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) if the solids you are giving are having cow's milk as the ingredient. If this is true it could be CMPA.
Unusually babies grow out of this sort of allergy by 1 year of age.
Kindly consult your pediatrician regarding this.
