Question

My daughter is now 3 years old. She has had normal bowel movements recently, but I noticed her stools are green now. What could be causing this for a 3-year-old?

Answer

If your child’s stools turn green, it might be due to indigestion. It’s recommended to give your child more warm water to drink, and you can prepare some soft, mushy rice porridge for them. Offer some light and easily digestible snacks, and ensure that all of your child’s items are kept clean. Maintain a regular and moderate diet, reduce snacking, eliminate picky eating habits, and pay attention to a balanced diet. It’s important to cultivate the habit of eating at regular intervals and in appropriate amounts.
