White bits like milk curds are common in breastfed baby stool. These are usually undigested milk fat particles—baby's digestive system is still developing and can't fully break down breast milk fats yet.
If your baby is otherwise doing well (feeding well, normal energy, weight on track, no belly discomfort), these white particles are not a concern.
Talk to your pediatrician if:
- Stool is constantly watery with lots of white bits
- Baby isn't gaining weight or is losing it
- He seems uncomfortable, has excessive gas, or bloody stool
General rule: if baby looks happy and healthy, the white bits in stool are usually normal.
