Question

How to treat green stools in children?

Answer

The color of a child’s stool can vary due to breast milk. If the mother consumes green leafy vegetables, seaweed, and other foods that day, along with the child taking medication, this can lead to a change in stool color. As long as the baby is in good spirits and the stool is not runny, there is no need to panic. Of course, during breastfeeding, the mother should best avoid cold, spicy, and hard-to-digest foods. A balanced diet has a positive effect on the baby’s intestinal digestion and absorption.
