Is this ok?!?!?!

I changed Alyssa's diaper a little bit ago and it was a poopy one - I found two small black hairs in it!!  All I can think is that she must have gotten hair in her mouth - like a cat hair - and it went through her little system.  But I was a little taken aback ... is this ok to have happened???

Re: Is this ok?!?!?!

  • Either that, or somehow it snuck into the diaper another way.  I wouldn't worry about it unless she's showing signs of struggling with BMs.
  • A mom at the mom's group I go to asked this and the woman that runs it says it is totally fine, that if it was a huge hairball or something to be worried, but I guess hair contains proteins which are digestible...
  • I would say it is ok as long as it wasn't a lot.  My hair has been falling out all the time lately and I find strands all over Kaelyn...makes me nervous.  I recently went back to taking my prenatal vitamins because they did wonders for my hair when I was PG.

  • Oh yeah its fine. She could have swallowed it or it was there in her diaper. Very cute pictures by the way!!
  • Are you still foing the pp shedding thing?  Maybe the hair somehow fell into the diaper while you (or maybe Eugene) were changing her?  That has happened to me before....

    I'm sure that it's nothing to worry about either way.
