What Causes Black Color Stool In An Infant?
Hi, my 10 month old baby girl today in the morning she poop like always but this time it was black. She pooped a little normal poop with black "liquid" poop. It reminded me when she was born o the first days. Is this normal? Should I take her to her pediatrician?

Hi...if the baby is otherwise active you need not worry about one episode of stool like this. Stool can come like this when on iron supplements too.
If the baby is dehydrated then she. Needs immediate medical attention.
