Why Is My Baby’s Stool Green?

Answer

Hello: Gender: Male Age: 2 months and 5 days Why is my baby’s stool green? Hello, since a baby’s intestinal function is very different from that of adults, it cannot be simply measured by adult standards. One of the characteristics of a baby’s stool is its wide range of colors. Generally speaking, changes in stool color are mainly related to the time food spends in the intestines and bile. When milk moves quickly through a baby’s intestines and is excreted, the resulting stool is yellow. As intestinal function increases, milk stays in the intestines longer, and the stool gradually turns green, becoming brown when excreted last. Therefore, if there are no problems with the baby’s diet and sleep, and if tests show no issues, there is no need to worry excessively about green stool.
