Baby stool
My baby is 6.5 months old . I recently started giving solids to him. Till now I have given him apple, carrot, papaya , pear puree, moong dal and daliya. In the initial 5-6 days his poop colour was yellow and texture was also fine but from last 10 days his poop colour has turned into dark green colour which almost looks like black and has clay like texture . For 1-2 days there was also some redness in the poop. Please suggest what to do . Apart from solids the baby is on breastfeed.

Red may be due to carrot. Persist with one item for 3 to 5 days before starting another

No need to worry about colour of stool as long as it's not watery or baby is in pain or dull
