Iron tonics cause black discoloration of motions,and also loose motions or sometimes constipation.
Stop iron tonic.
Give 3 each of milk feeds including one top formula feed and 3 solid meals including curd and Banana in the diet.
Add ors after every loose motion if watery and add Enterogermina vial half vial twice a day for 5 days.
If not improving in 3 days after following above mentioned instructions OR accompanied by other symptoms like vomiting or abdominal distension or dullness and refusal to feed,consult your paediatrician.
