My 4 mo. old is excl. BF (no solids) and for the past 2 days I've noticed more liquidy runny poops than usual but the really weird part is that they have had stringy (3-5 in. in length) dark snotty strands of something. This morning, she had 3 runners in 3 hours (usually poops once a day) and a tiny tiny bit of snotty blood. My nipples are fine (no blood, etc.) and the only thing different in my diet is that I've added liquid vitamin C supplements that are flavored with honey. I know honey is a no no for babies but are BFing moms supposed to avoid, as well? Of course, Ped. is closed for weekend. Should I go to the urgent care with my sample diapers in tow? She's smiling and happy, eating normally, and no fever. Has anyone noticed similar stuff in BFed baby poop?

Might be diarrhea. DD had the same stuff at 1 month old. That's when we took her to the ped and they said she is allergic to dairy. I've been off dairy ever since and she's been okay.

I see your post is a few days old. Did you take her to the ped? It's probably just something in your diet she doesn't like.
