Dear parent,
mucus in stools at times may be a normal occurring, a sub clinical infection taken care off by body itself, at times small frequent motions are due to respiratory infection too as the child is unable to spit, he swallows the flegm.
It then comes out in the for of mucus.
Just keep a watch.
