Q.
We fed our 5 month old mashed banana n cow milk for the first tym.. he seemed constipated n passed really hard stool after trying really hard. we reduced banana n cow milk n went back to formula. he passed hard stool again but also some soft watery stool with lot of black spots. Should I consult a pediatrician or is it normal when we transition form liquids to semi solids?

Author of questionMom of a 3 yr 2 m old boy2 years agoA. Thank you Ankita Mehta , i wish I could exclusively breastfeed but i fall short of supply n hence supplement with formula. Will stop cow milk completely until he s 1 year and reintroduce banana after a few days. 👍

Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children2 years agoA. Cow's milk should be introduced to the child only aftegir 1 year of age .
Earlier introduction of cows milk can lead to micro bleeding in the digestive tract.
It's also deficient in iron vit E,C and essential fatty acid.
It's also lacking ideal proportion of protein and fats present in breast milk or any formula milk .

Ankita MehtaMom of a 9 yr 1 m old girl2 years agoA. hi
usually it is normal to get change in stool after giving semisoild food especially banana
but if there is Mucus , if consistency of stool is too much watery or hard like stone then you should consult your pediatrician
and stop giving cow's milk and banana for now
