Question
Is it normal for a newborn’s stool to turn green?
Answer
A newborn’s stool turning green may be caused by high iron content in the diet or a slow intestine. As long as the baby shows no discomfort, it can be observed first. Parents should ensure hygiene during feeding, regularly clean the bottles, and keep their hands clean after the baby uses the toilet. If the symptoms do not improve, consider visiting the hospital for a routine stool examination. When symptoms subside, you can give the baby probiotics in the form of triple-virgin live bacteria powder, twice a day, taken with warm water.
