Blueberry Poo!

[BabyValentine]

DD (8 mo) is currently filling her nappies with runny, blue-black-dk green poo .

She has had blueberries three times in the last 24 hours - blueberries & banana and blueberries & yoghurt yesterday, and blueberries & Weetabix this morning (1/2 price at Tesco!).

Has anyone else experienced this poo problem? Is it the blueberries? (DD is otherwise eating and drinking well, and is remarkably jolly). I'm off out tonight and I'd like to reassure DH or he's liable to call the coastguard or something...

It sounds like a blueberry hangover to me.

DD is now 13 months and can digest them a bit more efficiently, but the same happened when she was wee.

Maybe you shoukd limit them to one portion every other day?

it's the blueberries
don't panic

does sound like a blueberry overdose!
try planting some. If it was the bluberries you'll have a nice fruit crop by next summer!

Definitely the blueberries. DS1 used to love blueberries and apples when tiny. DH knew exactly what DS had had for lunch on the days he came home from work and the evening poo was purple.

its nothing to worry about, blueberries just do this to poo. Now beetroot is the really frightening one!

Thank you! DH has been suitably reassured. The offending blueberries have been banished to the freezer.

there are not harmful, the only thing they do is turn your poo bloo because the skins cannot be digested. No worse than raisins or sweetcorn
