black bits in nappy?

[sparker22]

hi, DD just done big poop and there was lots of black 'stringy' bits in it, about 0.5-1cm long I suppose.

are they worms?? they weren't moving.

Has she eaten a banana lately?

she had a bit of banana for breakfast today and yesterday

That may well be it. I don't know why, but bananas coming out of the digestion process seem to create these wee black strings. Keep an eye to make sure it isn't anything else, and I hope someone else confirms this (mine have been out of nappies a few years) but I do seem to remember this.

there did seem to be a tiny dot of blood on the wipe when I wiped her bum..is that normal too with bananas?

No, I don't think so. MIght be worth ringing HV if you're not happy.

I was thinking banana as well.

Banana!

thanks! that's a relief, there's was loads of it! [ had no idea banana did that!

anything else likely to give surprises like that?

Kiwi fruit seeds don't digest so expect tiny black dots.

Sweet corn and peas go in and out the same

thanks for the warning! Lol
