What Causes Grey Color And Thick Stool Discharge In A Child?
My almost two month old son just had a bm and it was a grey color and thick. He filled his diaper up and another one soon after I changed him. He does has gas problems and I have noticed that he has went from having multiple bm s a day to only going 1 or 2 times a day or he will skip a day. Should I be concerned and take him in? Thanks in advance

Hi
welcome to HCM
I understand your concern but 4-6 formed stools or a stool in 2-3 days (unless it is very hard) is normal for a two months baby.Colour of stool does not matter unless it is blood stained or contains blood.If your baby is active , accepting feed well, passing urine every 3-4 hourly , not febrile, you not worry.Passing stool with gas is normal.
Hope I answered your query
Feel free to ask any other query
thanks
