Can Poop Appearing Black After Intake Of Zantac Be A Cause Of Concern?

5 days ago we started my 3 month old baby on Gerber Sooth formula. Yesterday she started having grey clay looking poop, and today there seemed to be some black in there as well. We also recently uped the amount of Zantac she is up to 1.5 mL twice a day. Should I be concerned?

Hi BLACK COLORED STOOLS MAY RESULT FROM USAGE OF zANTAC. AS THE BABY IS FINE AND TOLERATING FEEDS WELL WITH OUT VOMITING, NO NEED TO WORRY.
