I think my baby is intolerant to something. His stools are very strange.

Question

Hello! She is 5 months old and her diet is mixed (breastfed + formula). Her stools are yellow and green, but I have the impression that there is mucus present since I find them slimy. This is what worries me. Thank you so much! Pamela

Hello, how old is your baby? What is he eating (breastfeeding/exclusive formula or food)? Can you describe the stool and why you think it's weird? Hello, according to the information you are giving me, the appearance of the stools seems normal. The color seems normal to me and the texture can vary, but is often a bit mustard-like (with or without "lumps"). The appearance can also change over time, especially if you change the ratio of breast milk to formula or when you introduce food. Does she have any symptoms that might suggest intolerance? It could be crying/seizures about 30 minutes after each feeding.
