I took my 6 month od baby to the hospital last night because after weeks of constipation his poop last night had thread like things in his poop I am so freaked out and worried to death but the hospital said it is just fiber stands...i am breast feeding so i dont understand. I have just started eating a ton of fiber but could the breast milk in his system realy make streads? please i am so afraid.

Hello dear

Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query for your baby thoroughly .

* This seems in relation with worms more likely than fiber , as your
fiber intake has nothing to do with his intestines .

Hope this clears your doubt .
Wishing him fine health ahead .

Welcome for any further assistance .
Regards take care .
