I would be really grateful for any advice. My 6 week old baby girl has been passing blood in her stools for 2 weeks. My GP has reassured that other than this my daughter appears healthy and is putting on weight as expected. My GP has advised so far it could be a tear in her anus or a fissure. She has also suggested it could be due to lactose intolerance and has prescribed infasoy (soya milk formula) to try out for a few weeks to see if this makes a difference. Currently I am using aptimil formula. On the infasoy pack it says it is suitable from birth, but I've had reservations about the nutritional content and am reluctant to try it.
So i am looking for suggestions of other formulas that are lactose free. Does anyone have experience of this? Or of a baby passing blood in their stools.
Many thanks.
