Hello,
You have recently changed the diet pattern of your child, so it's perfectly normal. Children require time to adapt to new things introduced to their diet. I would advise you to start with rice-based cereal first and give wheat at around one year to prevent the chances of having a wheat allergy.
The color of the stool is alarming when it is either jet black like coal or white or it has blood in it. I would recommend to start with rice pudding and then proceed to boiled vegetables like potato, carrot, peas etcetera at around seven to eight months. Give egg white at nine months of age and complete egg at one year.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Musfirah Tahir
