Question
My baby is 3 months old and being breastfed. Since yesterday, she has started refusing breast milk, only eating a small amount when extremely hungry. Today, her stool turned green, and I don’t know what the cause is? What should I do?
Answer
The green stool and refusal of breast milk in your baby could be due to discomfort caused by something you’ve eaten. First, check if you’ve consumed too many vegetables or fruits. My baby also experienced this when I ate something wrong; she would feel uncomfortable and refuse breast milk. It could be that your baby has indigestion or an intestinal infection. It’s advisable to consult a doctor immediately.
