Question
Why is my baby’s stool black?
Answer
There are several possible reasons why a baby’s stool may appear black: first, the consumption of animal blood or iron-rich foods in the diet; second, indigestion may also cause the stool to turn black; and third, gastrointestinal bleeding can also lead to black stool. It is recommended to first give the baby probiotics to adjust the intestines, as probiotics are absolutely harmless to babies. Additionally, when introducing complementary foods, it should be reduced for these few days, with fatty foods being minimized, and instead of rice for meals, porridge should be served. Do not give the baby fatty foods.
