Question
Is it normal for my 4-month-old baby to have green stools? My grandmother says it’s because she caught a cold. Is that true?
Answer
If your baby has green stools at four months old, it might be due to catching a cold. If the baby has frequent, watery stools, it could also be related to indigestion. You can use a warm towel to apply heat to the baby’s abdomen, give the baby more warm water to drink, and administer medications like Montmorillonite powder and Mami Love. If you are breastfeeding, pay attention to maintaining a regular diet, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, and steer clear of cold, spicy, and greasy foods. Instead, consume more easily digestible nutritious foods.
