What is your baby's diaper telling you?

One photo. Ten seconds. Mila reads color, consistency, hydration and red flags against pediatric guidance, and gives you a clear next step in plain language.

The moment you actually need this

It's 3 AM. The diaper looks weird. Should you call?

You scroll forums. You compare to a search-engine image grid. You second-guess yourself. Poop Decoder gives you a structured read in 10 seconds — not a verdict, a clear “here's what this most likely is, and here's exactly what to do next.”

Three steps, sixty seconds

No app to install. Works in the browser. No account needed for your first two reads.

  1. Step 1

    Take a photo

    Good light, close enough to see texture. JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, up to 6 MB. Your camera or library — Mila doesn't care which.

  2. Step 2

    Add context

    Baby age, feeding type, hours since last BM, any recent food changes, fever or vomiting flags. Optional but it sharpens the reading a lot.

  3. Step 3

    Read Mila's note

    Color + consistency + hydration + frequency, plus a 4-level safety triage with the concrete next step. Saved to your history if you're Premium.

Why we trust the read

The science behind it

Bristol Stool Chart

Mila grades consistency on the seven-point Bristol scale, adapted for infants — so the same scale a pediatric GI uses in clinic is what scores your baby's seedy mush, soft formed or hard pellets.

AAP red-flag list

The four colors pediatricians treat as “call us today” — white / clay-pale, jet-black tarry past the newborn window, bright red blood, and grey-pale — sit at the top of the triage hierarchy and surface as an explicit safety flag.

Diet-aware reasoning

What's “normal” depends entirely on whether your baby is breastfed, formula-fed, mixed or on solids. Mila weighs your declared feed type as a strong prior — green stool in a 6-week breastfed baby reads very differently than the same green in a 9-month-old on solids.

Two-pass classifier

A cheap Haiku gate rejects blurry / dark / wiped-clean / off-topic photos before they reach the full Sonnet vision pass — saving you a vague reading and saving us the GPU. Quality score 5+ is the threshold to classify.

12 colors Mila knows

The color reference

Three groups: normal-for-some-diets (green tags), watch-context (no tag), red flags (red tags). Mila tells you which one applies to your baby's photo + diet.

Yellow seedy

Classic breastfed. Normal.

Often normal

Mustard

Breastfed + early formula. Normal.

Often normal

Tan / brown

Formula and early solids. Normal.

Dark brown

On solids. Iron can darken. Normal.

Green

Foremilk shift, iron, mild bug. Often normal.

Olive green

Tarry black

Red flag past first week. Call doctor.

Red flag. Call your pediatrician.

Bristol-adapted scale

Eight consistency reads

Each consistency maps to a Bristol equivalent AND a hydration signal — so we tell you whether to think about dehydration, constipation, or carry on.

The triage hierarchy

Four safety levels — each with a clear action

Mila never just says “there's an issue”. She tells you which level you're at and exactly what to do in the next hour.

Looks healthy

Color and consistency fit your declared diet, no red flags. Carry on — keep an eye on hydration and feeding rhythm.

👀

Worth watching

Borderline observation (mild constipation signal, slight green tint, frequency drift). Watch over 24-72h, hydrate well.

📞

Call pediatrician today

Visible red flag (blood streaks, persistent mucus, unusual color). Get a same-day call with your pediatrician.

🚨

Seek urgent care

Severe red flag (jet-black tarry past newborn, white/clay-pale, bright blood + distress). Call urgent care or ER.

What it actually looks like

Three real questions, three real answers

“3-month-old, exclusively breastfed, stool is bright green and frothy.”

Mila's read

Likely a foremilk-hindmilk imbalance, not infection. Watch hydration, try fuller feeds on one side before switching. None safety level. Call if it lasts beyond 48h or baby is unsettled.

“7-month-old on solids, hard pellets, no BM for 4 days, very fussy.”

Mila's read

Constipation pattern. Increase fluid, offer pear / prune purée, warm bath + tummy massage. Watch level. If no BM in 24-48h despite hydration, or pain when passing, call pediatrician.

“6-week-old, breastfed, small red streaks visible in mostly-normal stool.”

Mila's read

Visible blood at any age is a red flag. Could be a small anal fissure, an allergy (cow milk protein), or infection. Urgent: call your pediatrician today and bring the photo.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Is this a diagnosis?+
No. Poop Decoder is a triage hint, built on the same color and consistency rules pediatricians use as a first check. It will never replace a doctor — especially if you see a red flag.
What about privacy? Are the photos stored?+
Photos are stored on EU-based infrastructure (Hetzner) only long enough for Mila to read them and for your premium history. You can request deletion any time via support — full GDPR rights are spelled out in our Privacy Policy.
Which AI does Mila use?+
A two-pass pipeline. First a fast quality gate rejects blurry / wiped / off-topic photos so we never waste a reading on unreadable input. If the photo is usable, Mila runs a deep visual analysis against a strict color + consistency taxonomy and AAP red-flag rules.
Why two free analyses per month and not more?+
Each analysis costs us real GPU time. Two per month is enough to verify Mila gets it right for your baby; if you find it useful, Premium unlocks unlimited use plus your saved history.
What happens at the red flag end?+
Whenever Mila flags 'urgent' or 'emergency', she states the specific concern (e.g. 'white/clay-pale can indicate biliary obstruction'), and the next concrete step (call pediatrician today / go to ER). The badge sits at the top of the result so you can't miss it.
Does the context form really matter?+
Yes — a lot. The same green can mean very different things for an exclusively-breastfed 6-week-old vs a 9-month-old on solids who started broccoli. Mila weighs your context as a strong prior, not as decoration.
Can I cancel any time?+
Yes. Self-service via the billing portal at /poop-decoder/manage — request a secure link, click cancel. No phone calls, no retention scripts. Refund requests are honored within 30 days, no questions.
Is the same subscription valid for CryDecoder?+
Not yet. Poop Decoder and CryDecoder are separate subscriptions today. A 'Baby Health Suite' bundle plan combining both is coming once the third feature (Fever) launches.

Be honest about limits

What Poop Decoder is NOT

  • Not a medical device. Not approved by any regulatory body. We give triage hints, not verdicts.
  • Not a replacement for your pediatrician. Especially when a red flag is detected — call them. We'll tell you when.
  • Not for adults, pets or lab analysis. The taxonomy is calibrated for infants 0-36 months.
  • Not a guarantee. AI vision can misread (bad lighting, partial occlusion, ambiguous colors). When in doubt, retake the photo or escalate.
