What Do Dark Specks In Stool Indicate?

During the last few months of pregnancy, I noticed little dark specks in my bowel movements, a few times. Now, my son is 3 months old and I m seeing these dark specks again consistently each bowel movement. I m wondering if this is caused by parasites, or something else? Any information is greatly appreciated. (Note: I am exclusively breastfeeding)

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you do not have any symptoms regarding what you have seen in stool so this may not be due to any disease but this could be due to the diet you have taken, check out our menu, if this persistence then to rule out the doubt you need to get the test done of stool examination, have a nice day.
