my baby as always got runny stools and they really smell! , a few months ago she had blood filled nappies like beetroot, she was taken to hospital and all the blood loss made her anemic, they did tests she had a camera down her throat and up her bum but nothing was found, we are just waiting for another test now called a meckles scan, she can fill her nappy 2+ times a day and all her clothes have to be changed to, she is on a well balanced diet! could anyone shed any light on to why this could be happening?

she does not eat loads of fruit infact she eats more bananas than anything, and its not infection as she as already been tested for that!

Is she eating lots of fruit? This can make her stools runny. The baby I look after does a poo at least three times a day, so I wouldn't worry about how often she does it. Give her banana and eggs, this can make stools harder.

I don't know if this will mean anything or not, but when I eat bananas I get diarrhea and the same goes with those regular iron supplements. I agree with the post above about it being an allergy. Maybe your baby is allergic to bananas. I was allergic to black bananas when I was younger and might be still.

could it be possible she was suffering from piles?? ( could explain the blood satined nappie) as for the runny stools i agree with the earlier answer saying she could have lactose intolerance or an allergic reaction to something, my nephew suffered something similar, it turned out he was allergic to certain food colourings and eggs. hope she gets well soon xxxxx

You could try taking her off of dairy products for a while to see if it helps. Use soya milk instead.
Lactose intolerance can cause very loose and smelly soils.
Not sure about the blood though.
Consult with your doctor before you try anything.

my little girl has runny nappies and she is 9 months old, do you give her alot of fruit?? i found that giving my little girl things like biscuits and savoury foods made her stools get harder it can sometimes mean there is too much acids in her fruit shes eating and its too strong for her little stomach to handle.

It could be a number of things. Just wait on the doctors to figure out what's wrong:)

not quite sure but make sure the doctors give you a better answer to you worries, it could be something that she is eating eg she maybe illgeric to some of the food or something that's in the food. hope she gets better.

It's some sort of infection. Take her to the doctor for crying out loud!
