My baby of 6 months poo is black in colour, apart from what I eat what else can cause this?

If your child is not using blood tonic or taking any iron supplement or taking a formula that contains iron and the stool is black, that is worrisome. IT MAY BE A SIGN OF BLEEDING FROM THE UPPER PART OF THE INTESTINES. Kindly see a pediatrician urgently for further evaluation and management in other to rule out bleeding along the gastrointestinal tract.
