Hi, My baby is 8 months old and she passing dark pebble like stools. I increased the water content and fiber food like carrots. Still she feels very uncomfortable while passing stools. She is passing poop thrice a day but very dark and pebble like stools. We tried giving lactolose solutions for 2 days after that we stopped. How much time would it take to improve this ? Do we need to worry about dark color stools. Please suggest.
