What Causes Blood In The Stool Of A Baby?
My baby is 3 months old, he has been having blood in his stool since he was 5 weeks old, very mucosy and foamy or bubbl. The doctor said that could be milk protein allergy so I am not taking dairy now, he is still gaining weight and he seems happy but he is having that blood in his stool more some days than others
