A member asked:

My 6 week old baby has small black specks in her normal yellow poo. is this normal or must i take her to the paed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not particularly: This is likely just flecks of the dark green bile that is added to food during digestion. If the kid is otherwise feeding well, engaging in interactive eye contact & thriving I would monitor as you would normally.
