A baby who is two and a half months old has bowel movements that are somewhat like blood but not quite.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

If there are occasional blood streaks in the stool without diarrhea, it might be related to what Mom is eating. Could it be that she consumed dates, pork liver, or something that boosts blood? If so, it could cause the baby's stool to have blood streaks. Don't worry.
