I think I’ve set a record this week posting almost everyday but it seems like right when we get one thing figured out, here comes another!!!
So, we got the sleep thing figured out for the most part. We decided to go with The Sleepeasy Solution which is really great for us and so far Kate has been napping in her crib since yesterday. It’s a start!!!
The naps are short,but we’ll get there.Today when I was changing Kate’s diaper I saw a small amount of bright red streaky blood. WHAT THE HECK????? I’ve added dairy consistently(hidden and real)for over a month. I don’t get it you guys!!! This is the FIRST time she has EVER had blood in her poop despite all of my previous incorrect assumptions about her having MSPI. If it’s blood, is this a good indication that it’s MSPI? If so, can I keep bf? Just totally rule out dairy? I’m so exasperated. I need a BREAK!!!! My baby needs a break! Is this possible that MSPI’s been hiding for the last months and just decided to show itself? Thanks guys.Yeah, I’d check and see if she may have a tiny tear before you assume it’s dairy and MSPI. This happend with Myles once and I was petrified but then I noticed a tiny little tear. He had a tendency to be constipated and pass hard stools, so that’s what caused it for him.
If it’s not that then I’d cut out all dairy for a while and see if it stops.Great news about her sleeping in her crib.
I hope she continues to make progress in that area!Okay so I took her to our ped and she looked at the diaper and thinks it’s a fissure. She says she has seen fissures in babies even if they don’t have hard stools which is so weird. I guess they just push really really hard? Anyway, she said it was streaky and if it was ALL throughout the poop,given Kate’s lack of MSPI symptoms up untill this point,THEN she would suspect dairy. But she really thinks it’s just a fissure. Ugh,cross your fingers for me…again!
Christine,
She said to put vasoline on her tushy after a diaper change just for some lubricant and to give her a good soak in the bath pretty often. Well, she has a bath every night as part of her bedtime routine(bath,books,lullaby,(sung out of tune my mommy
)bed)so we’ve got that covered. Tonight I put some vasoline on her tush and when she pooped next there was no blood put I’m not sure if that says anything. With a dairy allergy is there blood in the poop ALL the time or is it just sporatic? I don’t get it. Anyway, we’ll give it a whirl and hope for the best!!instead of vasoline, I like
I didn’t think it was mspi either…but hey keep your eye on things
Hey Claire,
This happened once with my Claire
, and the doctor suggested the same routine as yours but also said that maybe adding some baking soda to the bath water would help.I wouldn’t guess it’s MSPI either, as I would think it would be more frequent and maybe not even bright red either, as it would have traveled through the digestive system more. Also, didn’t she just have a scope done and no allergies???Thanks girls. Yep,she had a scope but with babes this young our G.I said it’s really too unreliable to test for allergies. The scope was clear though so I would imagine if she had a full blown terrible untreated allergy,the scope would have been different
I’m not sure. We get the results of the biopsies and her blood tests today so hopefully everything is okay there. Here’s hoping!!!
