| | Meconium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Meconium (sometimes erroneously spelled merconium) is the first stool of an infant, composed of materials ingested during the time the infant spends in the uterus: intestinal epithelial cells, lanugo, mucus, amniotic fluid, bile, and water. |
 | | Meconium is sterile, unlike later feces, and has no odor. |
 | | Meconium is normally stored in the infant's intestines until after birth, but sometimes it is expelled into the amniotic fluid prior to birth or during labor and delivery. |
