Meconium:
Meconium is the name of the dark green (almost black) tar like mucus that is generally the first stool that is passed by your newborn. This meconium is a combination of bile, amniotic fluid and secretions from the intestinal glands. Your newborn baby will have passed out all the meconium from his/her body within the first few days; after which the stools will progress towards the more familiar yellow color (which is indicative of digested milk).
