Colour poo, constipation
Hi mammas,
I have a concern.
My 10months old, soon 11momths old baby is often constipated. I noticed it is the baby cereals. He is on solids and aptamil 2. He eats everything, usually no issues. I home cook for him but sometimes, rarely, I will offer baby cereal. Usually we will have 2-3 stable poos per day. Big ones, normal consistency, but when I offer the bloody cereal, we are constipated for 2-3 days. Then I offer a lot of fibre food and he will get out of it. My question is the poo colour. I am attaching photo. Is this normal. I think it is too dark. He eats a lot of green veggies, like spinach,protein, for carbs, I offer a bit of sweet potato or eggs. I just think this is too dark? What is your experience. He also drinks lots of water and love his milk but even when he is not constipated, the poo is always dark brown

omg this looks like his normal poo. What did the hospital say? What colour was it? What did you fed him? At what age was this?
How many poos he had per day when he had this poo?
Was it with mucus or something?
Ah ok.
This is so so helpful. Thank you so so much
Well his poo is always dark brown or dark green. He used to have mucus when younger but it was because of teething. I went through all those possibilities and diets and formula changes for CMPA as private pediatrician told me he has it. It was all bullshit. He was just teething
Now sometimes he will have some mucus but rarely and still teething as we have the top biting teeth coming out.
I asked the GP to run a sample.
Hopefully everything will be ok. He is ok
I don't do cereals often at all but now I am completely stopping them
thank you so so much
Complitely normal for babies on formula.
Thank you
We just had a normal clay colour poo. GP said it's all normal especially if I offer green veggies and veggies rich on iron
