Hi,
Thank you for your query,
Nothing to worry.
It is not looking like constipation, but try to give more dieyary fiber rich food like mashed vegetables, mashed fruits.
Give plenty of oral fluids.
If the child is straining too much, then you can give oral stool softeners like lactulose in prescribed dose.
Hope I have answered your query.

Hi,
Thanks for asking
Your baby is quite OK there is nothing wrong with her , baby can pass such type of stool on semi solid food. To prevent her from strain while passing try give her food mixed with milk encourage her to take water in addition to usual feedings, you can also give her apple juice in addition. Barley cereals instead of rice can also be useful.
bye
take care.
