Question
My sister is 27 years old and recently gave birth. I’m helping her take care of the baby at her house, as I have never had a child before and don’t have much experience. Please ask: What should a baby’s stool color and consistency be?
Answer
A baby’s stool should be light yellow and soft in consistency. Moreover, it is important to consider the child’s diet and mental state. If the child is in good spirits, there is no need to worry excessively. Some babies who consume formula milk may also experience gray stool. If the stool appears green, has milk curds, or is grayish-white, it indicates that a baby on mixed feeding may be experiencing symptoms of indigestion again.
