Hi, my daughter who is 1Year & 9months old is passing mucus blob before passing gas n potty. She goes ones in 3days for pooping. She is having problem from last 2weeks. She is teething also. Generally she eats dry items like parathas n puris , also some time dal rice n suji upma. She drinks less water. She is still on breastfeeding. She is not doing very moist stools. What could be the possible reason n treatment. Iam attaching a picture also of mucus blob. Thanks.
