In the first few days after birth, a newborn’s stool is typically black or dark green, known as meconium. Over the next week or so, it transitions to a lighter green color. By the end of the second week, it usually becomes yellow, especially for breastfed babies, due to the change in their diet and the development of healthy gut bacteria. This yellow color usually persists throughout infancy. However, variations can occur depending on the baby’s diet and health.Consult your pediatrician if you n

Meconium is the early stool passed by a newborn soon after birth, before the baby starts to feed and digest milk or formula. In some cases, the baby passes meconium while still inside the uterus. This can happen when babies are "under stress" due to a decrease in blood and oxygen supply. #midwifechaibirtvlog. #followlikeshareandcomment | Midwifechai birthvlog
