Is It Okay To Have Very Dark Stool For 18 Month Old Baby?
Hello
I am on holiday in Thailand with my 18month old daughter and she has been having very dark (almost black)'stools very soft. She has been drinking bottles water and cows milk as she normally would. No temperature. Cannot think why it would be so different to normal??
