A. Black poop is common with iron supplements. Otherwise it is abnormal, as it signifies passage of altered blood, which signifies gi bleeding. It is important to consult directly and check with doctor.

A. Cases, where dark black poop is not normal, is if your baby does not drink iron-fortified formula. Thick, black stools in 3-month-old babies (or older) can be an indication of bleeding in the digestive tract, and you should call your pediatrician right away
