Another common cause of blood in the stools of infants is food allergies- Try to rule out allergent food substance and avoid give it. Occasionally, blood in the stool may be due to breastmilk oversupply. If mom has a cracked nipple or other bleeding, then baby may ingest some blood from mom (this is not harmful to baby), which may show up in baby’s stool. It may be lactose intollrance. observe your child behavior Talk to baby’s doctor if there is blood in baby’s stool, but whether or not this requires an emergency visit would depend upon your child’s behavior.

A. Prune juice – this is a mild, natural laxative that works in some children. Prune juice may taste better if mixed with another juice, such as apple, apricot or cranberry juice. You can freeze prune juice to make icy poles. At least three servings of vegetables each day.
