1-year-old baby stool colors?

In 1-year-olds, stool color usually changes based on what they eat. Normal colors include:
- Yellow-brown or mustard: Most common and healthiest.
- Green: From spinach, broccoli, or iron supplements.
- Dark brown: Normal, especially as babies shift to solids.
- Orange/yellowish: From beta-carotene foods like carrot or sweet potato.
- Light brown with bits: Undigested food pieces (corn, peas) are normal.
Colors that need doctor attention:
- White or clay-colored: May signal bile-duct issues.
- Red: Could be blood, but beets and red fruit look similar.
- Black or tarry: GI bleeding sign (unless baby is on iron, no supplements).
- Bloody and slimy: Suggests infection or allergy.
If color doesn't improve in a couple of days, or comes with fever, fussiness, or poor appetite, ask your pediatrician.
