Sticky, blackish stools are seen during the
first 48-72 hrs followed by a watery diarrhea lasting for a day or two.
This is known as transitional diarrhea, which does not require any
treatment. Later on, stools become green and then yellow in color and
pasty. If your baby does not pass stools within first 24-hrs this is
abnormal and you should contact a Pediatrician. Baby will have to be
investigated to rule out a surgically correctable condition or thyroid
deficiency.
