Question
My six-month-old baby’s stools have been green recently, along with bad breath. We’ve seen a doctor and have been prescribed medication, and the symptoms have stabilized, but now the stools have turned black. I’m not sure what’s going on.
Answer
If a six-month-old baby has black-green stools, it may be related to the mother’s diet. It is recommended that breastfeeding mothers pay more attention to their daily diet, eat more green vegetables and fruits, which will make the baby’s stools better and promote the growth and development of the baby’s gastrointestinal function. Additionally, giving the baby some probiotics and ensuring adequate hydration can help adjust the child’s intestines.
