Clinical Clues in Infant Stool

Clinical Clues in Infant Stool

When it comes to babies, there is one true common denominator for new parents — poop. While it's one of the first things parents can fixate over, pediatricians know what's in the diaper can say a lot about what's going on inside that tiny body. From understanding different stool colors and consistency, to the difference in diaper contents between breast-fed and formula-fed babies, there's a lot to learn about baby poop.

This episode was recorded on the exhibit floor atthe2025 Pediatric Academic Societies Conference in Honolulu,Hawaii. Joining us for this episode is Adrienne Hoyt-Austin, DO, a pediatrician and lactation consultant with UC Davis Health. She specializes in general pediatrics and breastfeeding medicine and is also an Assistant Professor of Clinical Pediatrics.

Some highlights from this episode include:

  • What baby poop can reveal about their health
  • How to distinguish between normal variations in stool and potential concerns
  • Common colors and consistencies
  • Biggest red flags to look for in baby poop
