HELP! does my 6 omnth old son have worms?

[astar326]

So i discovered this (warning graphic diaper) while changing my 6 month old today. Little red things. are they worms? is this normal? What do I do?
We just started introducing solids and have offered him banana yesterday.
HELP!

Just found this thread confirming "Yes, strange though it may seem, eating bananas can lead to the appearance of black, fibrous threads in baby’s poop and – from personal experience – we agree that they do look alarmingly like worms!"

this is sooo strange. has anyone else experienced this?

[momtoTnT]

It looks to me like it's possibly from the banana. Once we started offering solids - we got some pretty interesting diapers.

yep, that's fibers from the banana.

just to echo the others. Banana poo. Freaked me out the first time I saw it as well.

[astar326]

My first thought was "hmm... that looks like banana...".

Then I read the rest of your post.

Normal, but isn't it weird? DH didn't believe me when I told him about DD's banana poo!

Moving to Life with a Babe as this isn't specifically a breastfeeding post.
