Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi, my baby is 5 months old and her stool has a pungent smell and the consistency of peanut butter some, and some is runny. Her perineal area is red and irritated because of it. She breast feeds and I started her on cereal one week ago. Before I put on cereal her stool was lvery runny and had big spots of mucus in it. Is this ok? Thank you
