A. the air which the child takes along with feeding goes from the oral cavity to the stomach and then to the intestine and then through the anal canal getting mixed with the the stool giving a foamy appearance to the stool. if if the child is not having any other complaints then there is no need to worry about this appearance.

A. Frothy or foamy stool is especially common in babies and is not usually a cause for concern. Foamy stool in babies is often a sign that they are getting an overload of lactose, a sugar found in breast milk. Breast milk consists of two parts: foremilk and hindmilk.
