Digestive problem
When my son have fruits or vegetables like dragon fruit papaya carrot like that the stool is also coming in the same colour of the food intake and the same texture.
So I'm worried that is it being digested or not and the nutrients are been taken by the body or not like that.
Please help me in understanding this

This is common during the first one or two years and it is totally normal.
it is very common that after starting complementary food after completion of 6 months of age you may find undigested food as well as parts of the food directly in the stool but there is no need to worry regarding this pattern.
the digestive process of the child is developing and will improve with increasing age of the child.
it is important to give only easily digestible food to the child and the quantity should be increased gradually and you can take help of mixer as well as filter sieve to make the food puree and then give it to the child instead of giving direct solid food at this age.
avoid a particular food which is not digested properly.
