What Are The White Seed Like Things In My Child's Bowel Movement?
My 8 week old formula fed son just had a bowel movement. It is dark green, but there is also what appears to be "sesame seeds" in the stool. Obviously, he hasn't been eating any solid food, so I am concerned about what the white seed-like things could be?

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Such seeds like material are very common in formula feed infants. There is absolutely no cause to be concerned about.
If the baby is sleeping well after feeds, there is no distension of abdomen and urine output is adequate then I see no reason for concern.
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
