Usually no concern: Ah, baby poo. It consumes much of parent's time, and often creates anxiety, especially in the early years. Fortunately, there about as many normal variations of stool appearance as there are flavors of ice cream (ok,bad analagy ) . "Black strings" are no exception, assuming all other things normal. Breast fed infant stool is generally dijon mustard consistency but can vary. Mention it to his doc
