What Causes Mucus In Stool Of Infants?

My baby had had mucus in his poop for 4 weeks now. He is 14 weeks old. We had his poop samples tested and there was some blood in it. So we got his blood tests done and the results were normal. He is not allergic to any foods. He is exclusively breast fed. What could be causing this mucus.

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...it is a normal finding. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
