Question
Babies often suffer from digestive discomfort, accompanied by green stools. What could be the reason for this? How should parents deal with it?
Answer
Babies may experience green stools along with regurgitation due to a cold or digestive discomfort. If the specific cause cannot be determined, it is recommended to take the baby to the doctor for a stool examination. If there are signs of infection, active treatment should be pursued. If the examination results are normal, the baby may have digestive discomfort or a cold. Additionally, if the baby consumes iron-fortified formula and the iron in the formula is not fully absorbed, the stool may appear yellow-green with larger white particles and a stronger odor.
