Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Yes this is perfectly normal. Upon the introduction of solid food, the stool color and consistency will vary according to the type of food, but mainly it becomes darker and more solid. Sometimes you may even notice the seeds (of bananas for example) in the bowel movement. This is because the digestive system of your baby is starting to get used to digesting foods that are very different from milk, and the enzymes required are still beginning to be produced in sufficient amounts. So do not worry. The only thing that should alarm you is blood in stools, which could signify allergy to certain food types.
