What to Do If a Nine-Month-Old Baby Has Black Stools?

If a nine-month-old baby is passing black stools, it may be due to gastrointestinal bleeding, indigestion, or oral iron treatment. If there is no iron supplement and the stools are indeed black, check the stool routine to confirm whether there is gastrointestinal bleeding. If it’s indigestion, you can use probiotics, lactase, and pepsin solutions to aid digestion. If it’s a side effect of oral iron, there’s no need to worry excessively. It is recommended to seek professional medical advice to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
