Patient's question:
My baby is three months old. I heard that if a baby gets scared, it can be seen from the color of the stool. What color is it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, under normal circumstances, a baby's stool is yellow or yellow-green and soft, occasionally containing curds (often due to indigestion). If green stool appears, it rarely indicates any medical condition and falls within the normal range. You can increase breast milk intake, which may improve the situation.When a baby's stool changes to a white, mucous-like consistency, grayish-white, watery, black (which may indicate the presence of blood or iron supplements), or separated watery and solid components, it is necessary to take the baby to the hospital for a stool test. After ruling out any medical factors, the doctor will provide reasonable guidance based on the mother's diet and the baby's feeding situation.
