Patient's question:
Our baby was just born recently, but some symptoms of diarrhea have already appeared. We are first-time parents, so we have no experience at all, and we feel very anxious. What does the stool of a newborn with diarrhea look like?Doctor's answer:
If a newborn has diarrhea, the appearance of the stool can vary greatly. Most of the time, the stool of a newborn with diarrhea is watery, and the color of the stool may not change much. However, sometimes diarrhea can have other colors, such as turning green or having a slightly darker hue. These phenomena are normal because the child may have some meconium.
