What Causes Dark Colored Stool To A 15 Week Old Baby?
My baby is 15 weeks old and this morning has done a slimy black/green poop. Only a very small one. I changed his milk 2 weeks ago and also he is starting some baby rice with fruit purée and rusks (made into a paste with milk) should I be concerned? Why is it so dark??
