Panicking

So I’m a ftm of a 2 month old girl and she has recently developed thrush. And since she has had it I have found little orange/red spots in her diaper about 2-3 times in the front and I’m mortified that it’s blood. I wipe her very well so I don’t think it’s poop and I checked her bits and I don’t see any nicks or scratches or any blood or red discharge so I don’t know if it’s a uti or what to do she is so upset all the time.

Go doctors x

This looks like brick dust crystals - it’s a sign of dehydration. Its really concentrated urine and can look like blood but is actually orange/red. I would go and get it checked out x

@Amira was literally about to comment the exact same thing!!

@Amira how does a baby get dehydrated?? She is BF and EBF and has been drinking around 6-8 ounces at a time- thank you for helping inform me also

@Robyn I’m only saying because we went to hospital when my baby was 5 days old with this and he’s EBF, admittedly they said it’s common with newborns, I don’t have the knowledge with slightly older babies but just passing on if it’s something you want to look into x

@Amira I appreciate it <3 I’m definitely looking into it and most likely making an appointment for her thank you sm

Looks like urates. My little girl had this a few days after she was born. She was dehydrated at the time according to drs. Definitely worth getting checked

Take her to doctor
