How To Treat Black Specs In Stool In A 6 Months Old Child?
Hello, I noticed black specs in my 6 month old stools. She poops regularly (at least once a day) and her poop is the usual yellowish color with normal texture. I noticed it the last few times. I breastfeed her and formula feed while I'm gone to school. I started her on solids a few weeks ago introducing fresh bananas.

Introducing new feeds does cause some alteration in color and consistency of stools, there is no need to be concerned about. The specs are likely to fiber content of banana.
