A. mucus in the stool is very common phenomenon. it is usually present due to the throat mucus / thick saliva as well as respiratory secretions which pass on from respiratory tract (parts of nasal cavity , oral cavity and throat) to the gastrointestinal tract by swallowing and then comes out through the anal canal mixed with the stool. it may be present in less quantity during regular times and would be in more quantity during allergy as well as cough and cold in the child. mucus in the stool is also associated with gastrointestinal infections as a less constipation as well as indigestion. treatment is usually given according to the cause no need to worry about the smell in the stool if the consistency of the stool is normal. it is very normal that the smell of the stoolx would be slightly different in children less than 6 months of age due to the supplements they might be taking as well as due to the maturing digesting system. if the weightc gain of the child is proper and the child is not having any other colic problems then no need to worry

A. Hello dear parent! Without proper physical examination, it is not possible to understand the underlying causes. Get your baby personally examined by the doctor and seek their advice. Continue to exclusively breastfeed baby. Well on demand. Keep Babyhug tummy roll on handy
