Not the best photo has husband took it whilst I was at the drs. His nappy never has these marks in but it was full of tiny black dots, drs aren’t interesting has he's completely fine in himself but dr google has me worried with talks of higher up blood.

he’s been weaning for a few weeks and was worried has he stopped pooing everyday sometimes twice a day and started going every 4 days but it seems to now be every 2 and is very explosive - last few days he’s had broccoli, potato , carrot.

we was out for the full day yesterday so took a piccolo pouch which he’d not tried, butternut squash , sweet potato and parsley but he didn’t seem keen so he had some strawberry.

Ftm here , should I be worried ?

I think banana leaves marks in poo.

Looks like banana seeds to me!

Strawberry pips? Kiwi, Banana etc all leave their mark!

Could be little bits of broccoli.

unfortunately he hasn’t had banana for a couple weeks. He had lots of broccoli on Sunday and lots of strawberry yesterday

Broccoli definitely causes black bits in nappy.
