Question
Hello doctors! My daughter is 36 days old, and because my milk supply is insufficient, we have been mixing her formula with breast milk. Initially, her stools were golden yellow, but they suddenly turned green a week later, with a fishy odor. She has one bowel movement a day, and the amount is normal, without any signs of diarrhea. What could be causing this? What should we do? Also, is there a problem with the Mamna IGG formula we are feeding her?
Answer
When babies have green stools, it usually indicates potential digestive issues. However, it is important to consider the child’s specific circumstances. If the child is feverish and experiencing diarrhea, it is best to take them to the hospital for a check-up. There is a virus currently on the rise, which could be the cause of the diarrhea. It would be best to have your child’s stool tested at the hospital to determine the exact cause of the diarrhea. I recommend you have a check-up. As for the Mamna IGG formula you are using, further consultation with a doctor or a professional would be necessary to determine if there are any issues with it.
