A member asked:
Hello, my 6 month old baby has been getting dark coloured specks in poop. i introduced solids a few weeks ago and it has started after that.

Probably nothing: The color of poo is related to how the colorizer, the deep green bile, is modified as it travels to the exit.When you introduce new food items, the breakdown products will stain differently and some may retain the super dark green color while others transition thru green/yellow to brown. I can't think of anything bad this would represent.
