Whenever there is blood somewhere where there shouldn't be blood, I'd be concerned. Hopefully it's nothing!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spot-in-diaper-should-i-be-worried#post-1097345 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 11:27:25 +0000 Dr. Pepper 1097345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maybebaby: I don't think he's dehydrated. He usually drinks 24-28 oz of breastmilk each day. He had 28-32 oz each of the last 4 days. But is was more of a orangey pinky red like the article describes, not a deep brown red like blood.</p> <p>Daycare hasn't called to say he's been acting strange, so I think he's ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/red-spot-in-diaper-should-i-be-worried#post-1096850 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 09:30:42 +0000 maybebaby 1096850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO (also uncircumcised) had this in his first week.

The diaper was wet, he doesn't have a fever, he isn't cranky/acting strange. Do I need to be worried and take him in right away or wait and see if it happens again? </p> [attach=1547/13/mtdkn3.450x600.image.jpg]
