Question
What should I do if my baby has green stool?
Answer
Your baby is 9 months old and has been having green stool since two days ago, with a total of 5 times a day. The stool has always been green. What could be the reason? Upon inquiry, you mentioned that your child’s stool is green. In fact, this usually doesn’t require concern as it’s mostly due to a slow intestinal movement caused by acute vomiting. Regardless of the cause of the acute vomiting, it may lead to bile flowing into the intestines and being expelled rapidly from the body, thereby turning the stool green. As the symptoms of vomiting improve, the color of the stool will usually return to normal, so there’s no need to worry excessively.
