Red color in baby's stools

Question

Asked for Male, 33 Years

My baby is 7 months old and she passes regular stools usually. Since last week we have noticed a reddish color in her stools. This has happened twice in past 4 days. We started solid foods from the beginning of July and her diet includes mashed apple, banana, mango, daliya and khichdi. We also feed her few sips of water 2-3 times a day.

Get a routine stool test done. Presence of blood would require medical intervention.
