My LO is 5 months old. He is exclusively breastfed. Today he had black specks in his stool. I gave him iron and vitamin D. But I give him those every other day (doc perscribed to do it every day-I didn t want to constipate him so I do every other). He has been extra fussy for the past 2 days but nothing major. He does not have a fever. Does anyone know what this could come from?
Hello I understand your concern. Actually black specks in his stool are caused by iron, you are giving him. And iron can even cause constipation in him. So kindly stop iron for few days and his lo will be normal. Why did the doc prescribe him iron? You did any blood test of him? Vit D is ok. You can give him. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us and do a follow-up. Please let me know the query I asked so that I can help you accordingly.*Always check for history of allergy before taking any medicine. Wishing you child good health
