Hi all. I've never posted here before, but I'm hoping you ladies can help!
DS is 2 months old. His poo is often green, but the doctor said that she's not worried about that at all. Yesterday, once, he had a stool that definitely had a bit of bloody mucous in it. Based on that, she told me to cut all dairy and soy until he's at least 9 months old, and then we'll see an allergist and go from there. (The alternative being to use hypoallergenic formula, which I'd probably do - I travel a lot and avoiding restaurants/eating around all soy/butter/etc. doesn't seem feasible to me - tons of respect to those of you who do that.) They'd also want to test his poo in a month to see if there's still traces of blood in it or not.
My question is, though - do you think that this one instance is enough of a catalyst to make this drastic change? Since I don't think I can actually do the diet, it'd mean switching from BF to formula, and that's obviously not reversible. One instance just doesn't seem like enough of a reason - it hasn't been an ongoing problem or anything. But then again, saying that makes me feel like a bad mom. I obviously don't want DS to have GI bleeding!!!
