My LO of 8months poop very hard stool eveyday. She takes a lot of effort to force it out. The colour of the poop is very dark brown almost black. She is on solid and one intake of formula milk at night. She is still on breastmilk on the day. Please advise is this normal. Thanks

Hi my gal has the same problem but it only started after I switched her to stage 2 formula. She eats solids twice a day and still drinks 6x milk a day. I have tried to give her water and papaya but for the past three weeks her poo is very very hard. The color is not black though, is usually green or yellowish brown. My mil says it is normal to have such hard stools once they start eating more solids and t takes time for their digestive system to get used. I am also going my gal probiotics in the morn already but still like this. Am going to try yogurt tomorrow, hope that helps to soften the poo
