A. Hi, any food can change the colour of stools, it is due to indigested food particles, if there is foul smell or loose stools associated with mucus or blood you need to consult with your baby doctor. Continue to breast feed your baby

A. Hi, it’s not common for apples to cause dark green or black stools, it can cause hard stools. If there is any foul smell or water and gummy it could be a sign of infection. Consult your doctor.
