Baby Breast Fed Till 4 Months, Now Breast Feeding And Formula Milk. Passing Dark Coloured Stools, Strong Rotten Smell. Medicines Given. Cause?
Hi.. My baby near 4 months old he was strictly breastfed until about three weeks ago (when I returned to work) now he takes formula during the day and breastfeeds at night. In the last two weeks his poop is dark, dark green or black and it has a very strong smell, like rotten something. He didn’t poops regularly. Dr. prescribe nor-metrogly syrup and niopeptin..
