POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. It's normal for babies to experience changes in their stool patterns after starting solids, as their digestive system adjusts to new foods. However, having black stool once can be concerning. Black stools could indicate the presence of blood, either from a minor tear in the digestive tract or from consuming iron-rich foods, like iron-fortified cereals or purees. If your baby is eating iron-fortified foods, this could be the cause of the black stool.
If the black stool was a one-time occurrence and your baby is otherwise well, it may not be a cause for immediate concern. However, if the black stools persist or you notice other symptoms like vomiting, fever, or discomfort, it’s important to consult your pediatrician to rule out any potential issues.
As for the frequent pooping, this can also happen when introducing solids, especially if the baby is trying new foods. Just ensure she is hydrated and monitor her for any signs of discomfort or rash, which could indicate an allergic reaction or sensitivity to a particular food.
