Question 1

is it ok that an infant stool is pale yellow after 3 days it turned gray. he is 4 months and a half old. is it ok? thank you

Accepted Answer

Yes: Transient pale-colored  stooling  is  observed in healthy infants and children not too infrequently. Pale stool close to  chalk  in jaundiced infant or red stool with diarrhea or tarry stool needs medical attention.

Question 2

i changed the formula on my 3month old from enfamil infant to enfamil a.r he passes stools 5 times a day now: yellow thicker w/ mucus is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The difference between the two formulas is that the ar contains a rice starch to "thicken" the formula a bit so that the baby doesn't spit up as much. This can increase fiber content in the stool, making the stools a bit thicker. 5 poops a day for a 3 month old is totally normal. Babies poop a lot!

Question 3

my 6 month old baby passing greenish yellow stools.any reason for that?

Accepted Answer

Normal: It is normal. Especially if you are breastfeeding and may have recently changed the baby's diet to include some formula or other foods. A change in your diet if breastfeeding as well can lead to the color change. It doesn't mean anything and is nothing to worry about.

Question 4

my 18 week old baby has a bright red spot at the back of her neck close to the head. she scratches that a lot, the spot appeared less than 24 hours ago. since the spot appeared, she has been pooping a lot (greenish yellow stool). please help.

Accepted Answer

Insect bite: The bright red, itchy spot could indicate an insect bite. The Greenish yellow stool is probably unrelated. Watch for redness spreading outward from the site of the bite, and if her stool becomes watery. Talk to her Dr for these compications.

Question 5

my son is 3 months, and he has got a greenish yellow stool, what does it mean.?

Accepted Answer

Not Much: Not much if he is healthy, happy and growing..The color is how he digests what he is eating.

Question 6

my baby is 1 month age. i use fumula feeding no breastfed. now he has stool around 10 time a day.but his stool is yellow and dark green colour.

Accepted Answer

Probably fine: I would not be worried about this kind of regular stooling pattern at this age as long as the child appears normal otherwise, is active &feeding well, growing normally and is receiving an approved baby formula, prepared or diluted properly. The baby's digestive system is still getting used to the child's new environment outsdide the uterus. Anything else seems amiss? Do check promptly with your md.

Question 7

my baby  is 4months old he do poo like after or between every feed, stool looks sometimes yellowes green sometime only green with white chuckes inside.

Accepted Answer

Normal: Breastfeeding infant stool can be yellow, green or brown, runny or oatmeal consistency, and zero to several times per day. Seek medical care if there is blood in the poop or if the poop is all white or grey in color.

Question 8

baby had 2 month vaccines 2 days ago. his stools are darker in color today almost yellow green. is that normal?

Accepted Answer

No big deal.: Stools can vary in color for babies.   They can be any shade of yellow, brown or green.   The main color of stool that should cause concern is white, which shows an absence of bile salts from the gall bladder, an indicates a serious problem.

Question 9

my baby is 5m old was mixed fed till 3.5m and now on formula his stool turned from yellow mustard to dark green do i need to worry?

Accepted Answer

No worries: It is absolutely normal for the stool change colors. The color tends to reflect diet as well as the changing bacterial environment that is taking place (very normal in babies).

Question 10

what causes a 3month old baby to stool bright yellow then slightly yellowish but the 3rd day her stool color returns to it's normal color green?

Accepted Answer

Poop Colors: The color of stool is not usually concerning, as it reflects a lot of things we eat. Dark black, red or white stools are the only colors that are worrisome.
