A member asked:
My 6 months old baby has blood in his stool, it usually happens once and stops what should i do?...his not breast feeding.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most times: Usually this is something not serious like the baby's poop being a little too hard and causing a tiny tear or fissure. That being said, it could be something more serious like a food allergy, infection, blood problem. You need to work with your baby's doctor to sort out "what", and once you figure that out, "how" to treat so it stops happening.
