Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby is two and a half months old. What color should her bowel movements be? I'd like to know.Doctor's answer:
The stool of a baby who is normally exclusively breastfed should be yellow and pasty or, in other words, mushy. For mixed-fed or formula-fed babies, the stool is also pasty or mushy, but it is slightly lighter in color. A normal baby's stool should be yellow or light yellow, pasty or mushy. For babies, as long as the stool consistency is normal and the frequency is regular for them, it is considered normal.
