Hello doctor,.

Please tell me is it normal in babies poop..
We have given only powdered rice cereal till now..no fruits, no ragi nothing. Also breastfeeding him along with solids.
Plz guide is it normal or I shd visit nearby paediatrician.

This is quite normal due to exposure to new food substances at this age. No need for any treatment unless loose motions or constipation. Give a different food for 1 week and then try to give same thing again.
