Question
My baby is only 50 days old and primarily drinks milk. Sometimes, their poop is green and very smelly. Is there a problem?
Answer
Hello! Your baby is experiencing green stools. If they are breastfed, as long as the baby’s milk intake is normal, they are in good spirits, sleep well, and their weight is increasing normally, there is generally no need for special treatment. If the baby is on a mixed diet, you should determine if the baby is getting enough to eat. If the baby isn’t full, the intestinal peristalsis speeds up, which can also result in green stools. In this case, simply increasing the milk quantity to ensure the baby is full should resolve the issue.
