I just started giving my son liquid vitamins with iron a few days ago because he refuses to eat vegetables. (by recommendation of his Dr.) Now when he goes poop it is dark green, almost black and usually little round balls. Is this normal? The vitamins are for his age range. These are the ones I give him : http://www.enfamil.com/app/iwp/Conte...C&ls=0&csred=1

Iron makes your stools very dark, usually black. It also makes you more constipated which would coincide with the little round balls. Maybe try giving him smaller doses till his body adjusts to the amout of iron in the vitamins. Slowly increase the dose till you're to the recommended amount of the liquid vitamins.contact your pediatrician if you have any major concerns.
