If it continues: If this continues, please contact her doctor or do a video consult on the HealthTap platform if you have access to that. If you are nursing, check your nipples for cracks which may be bleeding;if so, the red spots you are seeing in her stool could be from that blood. Also look at her anal area to see if any cracks (anal fissure) seen there.If cracks are there, apply a healing ointment and observe.
