What Causes Yellow And Black Stool After Giving Mashed Apple To An Infant?
My baby is 5 months old. I am giving him half apple (cooked in steam and smashed) for the past 3 days. After I started apple he is passing stools twice (before he used to pass only once or even once in 2 days at times). some of the stool is black in colour and the rest is yellow. When he passes the second time, the whole stool is yellow. Is this a cause for concern?
