I fed my 8 month old carrots and apparently he didn't digest them. Is this normal? This is the second time and same reaction

Can't answer your ? but about to introduce my 8 month old to carrots. How did you prepare them. Store-bought or homemade puree or blw chuncks cooked or raw?

I made a homemade puree, but not too thin. (I streamed the carrots first). My ds does really well with thicker/chunkier food, hth.

Some foods come out looking a lot like they went in.. IIRC, carrots are one tat will likely result in nice orangey poo.. mandarin oranges, blueberries, and corn are a couple others that come to mind. Dont worry Mama

carrots are high in nitrates so be careful when introducing them for the first time. Steam them and then mash.

They act as a laxitive to my ds so no they don't digest goes in as little cubes comes out the same way AND he gets watery stools; so we stay clear of them; unless he is having bowl issues.
