What Causes Black Stool In A Child?

Hi, This is Punitha... My Boy Baby s stool is black in color for the past 3 days... He is 6 months 6 days Old... The intake he takes is as follows: Breastfeeding - 3 times a day, Similac 2 - Advanced, Pomegranate, Cerelac - Wheat... But, Pomegranate was introduced just before 4 days... Whether the Color Change of his Stool is because of the Pomegranate which was introduced to him? Normally, His Stool Frequency will be 2 times a day. But, Now The Stool Frequency is increased to 4 to 5 times a day... I am very much scared of this happening? What may be the reason for this? Help me with your kind reply... Thank you in advance...
