Is this a UTI? Hi ladies. I've noticed a dark deposit in my son's diaper during the last few diaper changes. At first I was thinking that maybe it was just the skin shedding but I'm wondering if he has an UTI or if he's dehydrated. He doesn't have a fever and he has plenty of wet diapers. Pic in comments. Thoughts?

@nellybamba that's good glad everything worked out for you and baby and gave you some ease of mind also

@ambrerumph1440 No problem. I don't think it's something that they are really aware of because it seems like it was more of a process of elimination since everything else seemed fine. It hasn't been in his diaper since that last time though.

@nellybamba right thanks for the update they should fore warn us about things like this glad he is ok

@ambrerumph1440 I called last night and the on call doc told me to make an appt for today. The doctor today checked him out and said that everything looks okay and that it could just be the skin sloughing off mixed with the diaper ointment I'm using. I'm still going to keep an eye on his temperature anyway.

@nellybamba Awwww yes I probably would call the Dr and let them know and see what they say just invade they need to see him

Amber · Answer

@nellybamba did he get circumcised thats how my oldest diaper look at me being a first time mom I freaked out took him to the hospital and they stated it was from his circumcision

Tiffany · Answer

@kaym it looks like brick dust tends to be orange or red. This is more of a dark gray to blackish color. His actual urine is still clear. I'll probably call the on call line.

Answer

Google brick dust it looks like that it’s from dehydration

Last diaper change. The spot up top is from the belly button. The clamp came off but there is still a little discharge. I told his diaper down but it still comes up sometimes because he's so little.
