Can Milk,cheese And Yogurt Cause Tan Coloured Stool In 18 Months Old?

I have an 18 month old who for the passed week or 2 has been producing tan coloured stools. He may have a few bowel movements a day. Is this common. He drinks close to 400ml of milk per day and loves cheese and yoghurts. Could this be an isssue? I noticed he is cutting his eye teeth.

Hi dear, I understand your concern, you should be worried, but not too much. Color of her stool can depend from her food consumted daily and from amount bile secreted by liver.Her stool is normal, if you are confused, then perform stool analysis and check how he digested food.
Wishing your baby good health
