Question
What color of stool is considered normal for children?
Answer
For children, stool color is typically yellow and in a paste-like consistency. However, each child is different, with some children possibly having bowel movements every few days due to better absorption, while others may have several bowel movements a day. It is recommended that parents observe their child’s diet and bowel movement frequency. If they notice any abnormal stool color or changes in bowel habits, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further examination and diagnosis.
