Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... The doctor advised this week to take the baby off the formula that I was using as well while breast feeding. After that, I noticed the blood stains in baby s diper. what is the cause? Should i go to the doctor?
Hello,- Bloodstains in the baby diaper suggest that there is bleeding in stools which can occur in acute gastroenteritis or dysentery.- There is no relation of formula feed for breast milk with bleeding in stools. However, when formula feed given by a bottle it can lead to stomach infection.- Stop bottle-feed, give milk by bowl and spoon.-Kindly do an investigation like complete blood count, CRP levels, and stool routine microscopy.- An examination by a doctor should also be done so that we may not miss any important finding point. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
