Are White Curdles In Poop Normal In 5 Month Old?

I've just started my 5 month old on solids ie: rice cereal, baby food such as pears, peas, custard and she's pooping more frequently today and she had white little curdles in it? With like a yellowish color, she doesn't have a fever. Is this ok? Is it from the solids?

Thank yoy for following up. I understand your concern, you start to introduce solids to baby and receive undigested particles in stool as white curdles, because gastrointerstinal tract start to adjust to new food, please introduce it gradually , every week -new product.Custard can consist chemical substance, thats why avoid it.If stool is frequent now, then give to her only rice cereal,when stool normalize,then try to introduce other food. Don't enthrall too much pear, because it can cause constipation. For improving digesting you can give darolac -normal flora for interstine,1 capsule 1 time 14 days, you shoud open capsule and give only powder with small amount of water between meal. In addition you can give to your baby apple juice for prophylaxis of anemia-start from drops, then every day add 1 teaspoon, increase till 50 ml every day
