What has she eaten lately that is different than she usually eats? Any red fruits or veggies? Beets perhaps?

It could be. But since you started feeding your baby "food" her digestive system is going to change. This is not uncommon.

Now, you may want to reconsider starting her off on fruits and start with veggies instead. Fruits are sweeter and babies will tend to turn down the more health veggies when offered. First foods that are fruits have a tendency to make a baby a picky eater (I speak from many years of experience).

Also, remember to only introduce one new food a week. This way, if there are going to be any food allergies, it will be easier to narrow it down.
