Dark poop

Hi mums! Anyone experienced this before!! My baby has been doing lighter than usual poo since being unwell a few weeks ago, then went really dark almost black so took her to GP who said well If it’s dark now it’s probably a sign things are getting back on track after the illness and the darkness was due to weining! They’ve continued to be light until today when she had a blueberry purée with raspberries on the side then it went dark gray like the pic do these looks like normal functions of a weined baby to you? to add she is 7months tomorrow and last month transitioned from majority breast to Nutramigen formula as she has cmpa, she is also teething 😅

Both look slightly green tinged to me (light and dark green obviously!) so no I wouldn’t be worried especially after a virus.

pale poop is only worry it when it’s literally chalk white coloured and dark poop only worrying when it’s actually black or visible bright red blood in it.

can you tell I work with poop in my day job a lot 😂

I would expect dark poo after blueberries.
