A member asked:

Seeds in her poop ? what is the cause ? i am breast feeding. should i panic ?

7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

White seeds: Infants especially those who breast feed will usually have yellow stool with "white seeds". This is very normal and what I usually look to see or ask about in an infant's stool/poop.

"Seedy" stools are: perfectly normal, especially in an infant who is breastfeeding. Keep up the good work!
