Patient's question:
At five months old, he didn't get much breast milk anymore, and I didn't have much milk either. Later, we switched to mixed feeding. At first, his stool was okay, but after two months, it started to feel like it had some dirty stuff in it, with a lot of vegetables and other things inside that weren't absorbed. It was also a bit runny.What kind of assistance is needed: There are some dirty things in the child's stool. What could be the reason for this?
Doctor's answer:
Mixed feeding infants' stools resemble those of formula-fed babies but are yellower and softer. After introducing solid foods such as grains, eggs, meat, and vegetables, the stool characteristics resemble those of adults, occurring once daily. Abnormal stools, where the frequency suddenly increases or become looser without changes in food quantity or type, should be considered abnormal. The above advice addresses the question "Why is there dirt in the stool?" and is hoped to assist you. Wishing you good health!
