Answer

Hello: Green stools are due to food residue being digested with bile, which is yellow and makes the stool acidic. After contact with air, it may occasionally turn green; generally, breastfed babies’ stools tend to be acidic and can be green in color. Now, since the formula milk composition is similar to breast milk, green stools may also occur, but there is no need to worry as long as the stool characteristics are normal. Diarrhea indicates poor digestion, so you can add some glucose to the baby’s milk to help with digestion and absorption.
