hi
if you have noticed this color of stool only after starting these food, then you stop these food and watch for 2 days for change in color of stool provided that yor child is active and apparantly healthy. otherwise get a test on stool for occult blood and if positive, consult a nearby pediatrician.
for further queries contact me.

Don t use those ingredients in her food just now. You can give her cerelac/ Nestum- like foods with boiled water. Rx, 1) Merc.Sol. 6 /10D/TD. 2) Merc.Cor.6 /10D/TD. You will give her those medicines.
