After starting solids, poop changes: colors and chunks
⚡ Short answer: Seeing carrot or pea pieces in poop isn't a digestion problem — it's normal development; if your baby is comfortable and there's no blood or mucus, don't worry.

We started solids and now I see carrot pieces and color changes in poop. Isn't baby digesting it, or is this normal?

Carrot pieces and color changes are one of the most common sights when starting solids. Their digestive system isn't ready to break down everything smoothly yet, which is completely normal. Fibrous foods (carrots, corn kernels, peas) usually show up the most since they're hardest to break down.
Basic rule: if your baby is comfortable, has 1-3 poops daily, and the consistency is pasty, there's nothing to worry. If you see blood, mucus (slimy poop), or your baby seems uncomfortable, that's when to mention it to your doctor.
Are the orange pieces only from carrots, or are you seeing color changes with other foods too?
