A member asked:

My 3 month breastfed & formula (on occasions) baby poop had tiny little black specs in his poo? is this normal or should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Baby bowel movement: The only time we are concerned with color of a baby's stool is if it is white or has blood in it. Changes in stool's color, consistency is normal.
