Why The Poo Is Black In Color And Hard To Clean Up?

My daughter is 10 months old and I have noticed here lately her poo is black tar looking and very hard to clean up. She is pooping up to possibly 5 times a day. Should i be conscerned enough for a dr or what to do? She was born on time with a birth weight of 7.9oz and now weighs 21lbs.
