A. Black stool in a 15-month-old can be concerning. Here are some common causes and steps you should take: 1. **Diet**: Consuming iron-rich foods or supplements, such as fortified cereals or iron drops, can cause black stools. Check if any recent dietary changes might be responsible. 2. **Medications**: Some medications, especially those containing iron or bismuth (like Pepto-Bismol), can turn stools black. 3. **Gastrointestinal Issues**: Black stools can sometimes indicate bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract. **What to Do:** 1. **Monitor Other Symptoms**: Watch for additional symptoms like vomiting, abdominal pain, or unusual behavior. 2. **Check Diet and Medications**: Review recent dietary and medication changes. 3. **Consult a Pediatrician**: If the black stool persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, consult your child’s pediatrician for a thorough evaluation.
