Blood In Wet Nappy... anyone else?

**BeanieBaby** · 13-04-2009 20:31

Just wondering if anyone else can shed some light. My baby boy is 12 weeks old and occasionally has a little blood in his wet nappy.

I phoned the '13 Health' line who suggested I take him to the Dr which I did. He had a urine sample which came back clear. He has no other symptoms that I can see... no temp, generally happy, feeding well, good wet nappies.

It's happened about 4-5 times now, and although the Dr said not to worry, I am a little. Has this happened to anyone else??

I remember something about this, but I think I heard something about it not actually being blood but the urine being a pink colour for some reason.

sorry i'm not much help at all

I hope your little one is ok

Hi there - my boy had something like this - he was jaundice and it was him getting it out of his system or something like that... although he was alot younger.

it disappears soon!

No, it's definitatley not the 'pinky/orange' crystals that sometimes occur when bubs are really little as a result of concentrated urine... it's bright red... sometimes in a streak. sometimes in a blob.

If you are concerned next one he does take it to the ED with you and show them and they wil test it to see if its blood, Yes like other people have said it may not be blood BUT there is always the odd time when it is KWIM, Best to check if you are woried
