Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Infant With Reddish Chunks In The Stool. Constipation. What Is Happening?
My daughter is 7.5 months old and has had red chunks in her stools today. She isn t on any medicine and hasn t had anything to eat that s out of the usual and acts fine. She normally has a bowel movement once every 3 or 4 days but yesterday she had five. They were solid form. Then today she had two BM s that were watery and brown but had red chunks. It looked just like diced tomatoes. Same color and everything. What could it mean?
Hi,
Your 7.5mths daughter is most probably on complementary feeds and for a baby it is not abnormal to have more than 3 soft loose stools with visible food remnants .Since their tummies are not mature enough to digest the food properly they do pass undigested food items in the stools.So i think you should relax however if the stools have blood in them then it might be of concern and you should get in touch with her pediatrician.
Bye
