hi my baby is 5 months and 3 weeks...she is been pooping a lot since yday....yday morning it was hard n dark green....as if she was constipated but had no problem passing it except had to push lil harder....then as day went by the poop became pastelike n then a lil runny and yellow in color....i have started her on solids n gave her mashed peas for 2-3 times...guess was wrong bout it....now her poop is a lil mucus like n sticky....and very less in quantity but frequent....should i worry a lot? or wait before i call doctors?
Hi, This is likely from a gastroenteritis, which is common when we start weaning. If she don't have fever and the stool is not bloody, just give her zinc suspension 10\u00a0mg once daily for two weeks, and ORS solution in sips after each stool. If she is not getting better in 3 days, develops fever/repeated vomiting / stool becomes bloody-please take her to your doctor as she may need antibiotics too. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
