Suggest Diet For An Infant
Hi - I have a 8 month old who just began eating bananas and raisins since he will not eat anything else. He does drink formula. But for the past week he has had yellow/green lose stool with fat lumps. He as well has thread like black strings in his stool. Does he need to see a doctor or is this normal.

The stools are not related to the food you are giving, and are most likely due to a viral infection. You can continue the same diet, but try and give more varieties of fruit and boiled vegetables. The black strings are nothing to worry about.
