DD is 5m and has blood in her poo and rather odd mucousy nappies. The dr is doing a full stool work up and we'll get results in about a week.
Dr says the most likely causes are polyps, this thing where the bowel telescopes inside of itself, maybe an allergy or who knows what. The thing is DD has NO other symptoms apart from the blood. She is skipping up the percentiles weight wise, very happy but did have some reflux which has largely cleared up now.
I've just been an idiot and looked at dr google and really upset myself with visions of infant colon cancer. Is there anyone who can come and hold my hand and tell me it will be fine and is very unlikely to be something worrying because she's such a happy little mite.
