Question
What are the causes of bloody stool in infants? If the stool has a foul odor, it may indicate poor protein digestion, and in this case, you should increase the milk intake or dilute the formula. If the stool is frothy, it may suggest poor carbohydrate digestion, and you should reduce starch intake. If the stool is creamy, it may indicate poor fat digestion, and you should decrease the intake of fatty foods.
Answer
If an infant has bloody stool, it may be due to poor digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, or fats. Adjust the diet based on the characteristics of the stool and observe the baby’s appetite and digestion. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to take the baby to a doctor promptly.
