What Causes Black Stool In An Infant?
Question: Hello! I have a 6months old daughter. from last one week i am feeding her banana,from then she is pooing once in 2days and consists of small black like threads. Is this normal should I continue or stop it
Brief Answer:
This is normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Can understand your concerns.
Child passing stools once in 2 days is due to banana. Don't worry this is a normal thing, just decrease the amount of banana that you give.
Small black like threads can also occur in banana diet but if it persists then you should do stool routine microscopy test.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
