A member asked:

I am breast-feeding and a drink a strawberry and raspberry smoothie and i see some red streaking in my baby stool-could it be the strawberry and raspberry in the stool?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wouldn't think so: Any color of your intake would be removed in the process of making breast milk. If baby had red streaking in its poop it is usually from an anal fissure/scratch that leaked a little blood.This is common with bulky/hard or rapidly expelled poop.

Dr Rhoads and another doctor agreed
