Question
My child is four months old, and their recent stool has become green and loose. The stool from a few days ago was golden yellow. What could be the reason for this?
Answer
Possible reasons for green stool include: Breastfed children’s stool tends to be acidic, which is normal and may have a slight green tinge, along with many white particles; for children fed with formula milk, green stool may indicate accelerated intestinal peristalsis or inflammation in the intestines, which can also be a symptom of vomiting. It is recommended to have a check-up, but it seems that the problem should not be serious.
