What Does White Substance In Stools Of New Born Mean?

my daughter is 10 weeks old and today (while my mom was watching her) she had a bowel movement. In the poop (which was brownish green in color) were flecks of white. She has been sick (a cold that required nebulizer treatments for several days and she had her 2 month shots and tylenol on Wed.) Is this something I should be concerned about? Should I take her to urgent care tonight?

Hi... this seems like a normal phenomena, do not worry.


Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
