What Are The Translucent Things On My Child's Stool?
Hi my son is 9 months old,not sure of his weight but he is big for his age and very healthy. The past few days i have noticed his poo is dark green in colour which is unusual for him,and today i noticed light brown almost translucent things in his poo.they didnt move but i am concerned,they are about a quarter of an inch long, thanks, nikkie.

Thanks for the query.
Normal baby stool colors include light tan to dark brown and pale yellow to dark green, depending on whether the baby is breast or formula fed, it also depends on transit time of food in the stomach and its contact with bile.
Transluscent thing might be some food particle or worm, i would suggest you to go for stool examination.
Hope i helped you.
