A member asked:
My 8 week old baby have brownish mucus in her poop. what is that and where do it come from?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mucous in the stool: Is this mucous a one time event or happening a lot? Is the baby having many (10-12) stools a day and are they watery? Are you breastfeeding or formula feeding? Do you see frank blood in the stool? These are all important questions in trying to figure out if this is milk-protein allergy. I would see you pediatrician for evaluation.
