Question
A ten-day-old baby starts to pass black stool after normal bowel movements, without any treatment. Parents hope to understand the possible causes and seek assistance.
Answer
Doctors suggest asking if the baby has been fed any black food, if not, the possible cause may be a damaged digestive tract, and immediate medical attention should be sought. Additionally, supplementing the baby with probiotics can help regulate the intestines, promote digestion and absorption, and defecation.
