A member asked:

Hi. my daughter is 5 weeks old now and when changing her nappy tonight we have noticed small red bits in her poop what could this be? she seems perfectly fine not crying or anything.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Red in poop: Do you see any sign of bleeding around her anus? Sometimes, if babies push hard to poop, they can get a tiny crack that may bleed a little when they go. If you are worried, get her doctor to check her.
