Question
The baby has recently been suffering from diarrhea, and the stool appears jelly-like, looking just like jelly when it’s taken out. What could be the reason for this?
Answer
There are many possible causes for a baby’s diarrhea, and when a baby exhibits this jelly-like stool, it might be due to one of the following reasons: After a cold, the baby may cough up a lot of phlegm, which is not expelled from the body but swallowed instead, and then excreted through stool. Therefore, the baby’s stool may take on a jelly-like consistency. This situation could be related to your baby’s digestive system issues.
