Question
My baby has been having yellow, formed stools for a week after birth. Since eating yinzi huang, now at three months old, the stool has been green. Before, it was not well-formed, and now it’s pasty. The formula milk we drink has a high iron content. Is the green stool due to the milk or the yinzi huang?
Answer
Hello, I’m glad to help clarify this for you! Based on the situation you described, your child’s stool is not well-formed. If a baby’s digestion is poor, they may pass green stool. I suggest giving your child probiotics orally or considering pediatric acupuncture for your child.
