Question
What’s wrong with my baby’s yellow-green stool?
Answer
A baby’s yellow-green stool may be caused by enteritis, which could be related to dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach. It is recommended to take your baby to the hospital for a stool examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment. If your baby has more than 4-5 bowel movements in 24 hours and the nature of the stool changes, you should be aware of the possibility of diarrhea. The correct approach is to have your baby’s stool tested. If your baby’s weight increases by at least two pounds or more per month and has 2-3 bowel movements within 24 hours, there is usually no need to worry.
