This was never a symptom we dealt with, but I'm curious to know if your baby had blood in his/her stool, how much did you see and how often?

dup post... server froze up

We only had it for about 2 weeks (that I could see...) It was after a super bad reaction to beef. Dairy had been out of my diet for a while, but the beef affected her just as bad. I think if I ate dairy today, she would have blood again by tomorrow.

For about a week, there was a small amount of visible blood. It was really just some pink tinged mucus, and some red strands here and there- it looked like little, tiny bits of thin red string. There were just a couple days when it was pretty obvious, but otherwise I had to look pretty hard to see it. The ped didn't even see it when I took her diaper in... but he did the little test and it came back as positive for blood.

DD had very small amounts of bright red blood off and on from 3-8 months of age...like a few drops or a thin thread or two. It was fairly frequent, ranging from maybe 1-3 times a day to a few times a week when I was eating dairy, and then maybe once a week or once every other week when I stopped eating dairy.

I only saw it once and it was about 5 days after DD going on Amoxicillan. On Day 3, she started vomiting and got a rash all over her and the ped. switched her to another abx. I'm pretty sure that the blood was from the amoxicillan, along with the other reactions. She had a sinus and ear infection and raging fever. It was the little red strings like the other poster mentioned. Luckily that was the only time I saw it.

On a humorous note though... once she ate a plastic/rubber little frog of my older daughters and it ended up whole in her diaper. Scared me half to death when I looked in THAT diaper.
