Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,thank you for your interest in HCM.As your son is 13 months old and you switched to whole milk,nothing to worry as stools sometimes alter normally also and i suggest you to give weaning food like Rice gruel with dhall as it is high time to start him on semisolid food.When the diet is changed,naturally stool changes in color as well in consistency,it is normal.You continue and start him on weaning food as per the directions of a Pediatrician.
