A. Iron supplements or iron fortified formula can sometimes cause stool to turn dark brown or black in which case there is no need to be concerned. But thick black stools can also indicate bleeding in the digestive tract which can be dangerous for the baby. In that case, there is a need to contact your paediatrician.
