Mucous (slimy) diarrhea in babies may indicate the intestinal lining is slightly irritated. Most common causes include a mild viral infection, increased saliva entering the intestines during teething, or sensitivity to a new solid food. If stool contains a small amount of clear or whitish mucus, it's usually temporary.
Unusual signs to watch for: blood in stool (red streaks or tarry black consistency), baby has no urination for longer than 12 hours (dry diapers), lips or mouth interior feels dry, high fever, or severe fussiness. None of these present? Then frequent small fluid offers (breast milk/formula or water if appropriate) and gentle diaper-area care with warm water at each change is sufficient.
If diarrhea lasts longer than three days, or mucus becomes so prevalent that most of stool is mucus, consult your pediatrician.
