Doctor! The baby is almost nine months old and has abnormal bowel movements, what should I do?

Patient's question:

Doctor! The baby is almost nine months old. Recently, we provided a new type of rice porridge. The baby has been eating it for four or five days, and during those four or five days, the stools were black like cement! Later, we stopped giving it to him for two days, and during those two days without the rice porridge, the stools were yellow! Now that we are giving it to him again, the stools have turned black like cement again. Can we still continue to feed this rice porridge? Will it affect the child? Baby Banana Rice Porridge

Doctor's answer:

9-month-old baby, after eating rice porridge, the stool becomes black mud-like in color, while without eating rice porridge, the stool is yellow. It is considered that the child may have gastrointestinal digestive problems. It is recommended to have a pediatrician examine the stool routine carefully for diagnosis. Pay attention to digestion and nutrition in daily life, get more sunlight, and you can coordinate with lactase to adjust it. You can first avoid eating porridge or add a full meal. Wishing you a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
