Hi All
We've been in hospital all weekend with our 4 month old as she's been pooping blood since Saturday. This started out of nowhere as she was doing 1 movement a day with no issues, then suddenly its non stop with blood.
They took bloods which came back normal so are putting this down to a cows milk intolerance. We've been given a tub of SMA Althera to try which she has been taking since Sunday, however this morning her poo has changed from the normal yellow to a dark brown/possibly green shade. Is this normal for this formula? She was on aptamil before.
It's meant to stop her bleeding but looks like there is some watery blood soaked into the nappy still. She's also got mucus blood in there too.
Not sure if related but she had a rash appear on her cheek the day before this started, tiny bumps and red so it looked like blusher, but it's already fading.
I'm still feeling shaken up by how much she's been bleeding this weekend and what else could be wrong, any advice if you've been through this would be great x
