Fecal color originates in the gall pigment "bilirubin". Bilirubin is a derivative of the hemoglobin’s metabolism and is excreted through gall fluid into the intestines. In the intestines, the bilirubin is transformed into a sterkobilin that gives feces its yellow-brown color.
Without sterkobilin, the feces become white. White feces could be a very serious sign of an internal disorder...you should visit your GP immediately! Bilirubin and urobilinogen in the blood and urine will be examined.

this occurs each and every of the time with my daughter! She not in any respect has bowel moves at nighttime except even as she's in her crib crying. i visit't only go away her like that although and that i doubt she does it to "get her way". you won't be able to easily make your body produce (sorry for lack of a more desirable sensible time period) poop on call for. that's probably only something that occurs because she's crying and below pressure out. i do not recognize if i might want to call it trauma....crying it out will no longer harm her emotionally or something. She desires to how you may sleep on her personal, that's something we are in the frame of mind of dealing with with our daughter, yet she's 20 months old!! sturdy success and be continual so 6 months down the line you do not have a 20 month old that isn't sleep in her crib.

White stool is not good. Something may be going on. Call the doc and see if they want you to bring him in.

My niece was recently diagnosed with Celiac's . It's a condition where your body can't process bread or grain. From what I understand, one of her symptoms was whitish, fatty deposits in her stools. Whatever the cause, you need to talk to your doctor about this. That's definitely not normal.

Well, what did he have to eat? Other than asking yourself this, you may want to take him to the doctor.
