Infant With White Mucus In Stools, Started With Baby Rice. Cause For The Mucus?
HI my baby is just over 4months old and i have started giving her a little baby rice mixed with her formular milk, 2-3spoons at a time, once a day on a morning about 45mins after her first bottle. I think shes been teething , she has been showing the typical signs. But for last 2-3 days she has been having stringy white mucus in her stools . She has bowel movements once a day, they are mustardy yellow in colour and at a pastey consistency. Shes well in her self, normal appetite etc. Before this stringy white mucus came up I believe she was a little unwell with a litttle diarrhoea Only thing thats really concerning me is the white mucus in her stools. I haven t caused a problem with her kidneys have i?; by starting her with baby rice. thank you
Hi
Thanks for your query.
There is some change in stool consistency whenever there is any change in feeding pattern.
Since your baby is active so nothing to worry.
I suggest you to give probiotic like lactobaccilus for 2 to 3 days.
Complementary feeding should be started after 6 months of age.till then i advise you to continue with feeding milk.
Wishing you r baby good health.
God bless.
