InfantReflux.Org Forums: Stool Pictures

Message

   I'm posting these pictures anonymously. This way if someone types in my child's name in the future, these pictures won't be associated. I'd hate to embarrass my little one like that! 

The reason I am posting these pictures, is to help other parents out there. I've seen a lot posts asking "Is this stool normal?" I have only seen our child's abnormal stools, these pictures may not be representative of blood in stools as a result of protein intolerance. I think it would be great if other families posted their abnormal stool pictures. This would provide a larger data base. If anyone is offended by these pictures, just let me know, and I will delete them from this site. 

The first picture shows a couple small specks of blood in a slightly mucus filled diaper. The first speck of blood can be seen in the center of the picture, the color of the blood in bright. The second speck is above the other one at the top of the picture. We had more severe bloody pictures, but we are having trouble finding them. They might have been erased. Blood started showing up in our little one's diaper when he/she was almost a month old. Mucus showed up before that. 

The second picture is just of mucus, our child's mucus became more severe than that pictured here. Again, we are having trouble finding the more severe pictures. 

Our child is breastfed, this is not a stool of an infant on formula. This stool is from a 1 1/2 month old.
