My baby is making sandy poops. What should I do?

Question

My baby is 9 months old, has a cold and I have noticed that her stools are different. She poops as if she has eaten sand, but she has never touched it. It sticks to the buttocks, very hard to remove.

Hello Ma'am, The appearance of stool can indeed change at a young age when children cover a virus. To help him get through this cold faster, I recommend using a very effective technique described in the following document produced by Ste-Justine . Finally, use a zinc cream on your daughter's buttocks to prevent irritation from the stool and make diaper changes easier. If the stool still looks like this 1 week after the cold is over, we'll go see a doctor. Good day, Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
