Question
Why does a baby’s stool appear light green?
Answer
A baby’s stool appearing light green may be due to excessive intake of green vegetables or fruits, or dyspepsia caused by an imbalance in gut microbiota. Generally, if the baby has no other discomfort symptoms and the physical examination results are normal, there is no need to worry excessively. It is recommended to add a moderate amount of fresh vegetables and fruits to the baby’s diet, while avoiding excessive intake of any particular food to prevent dyspepsia. Additionally, since the baby’s intestinal function is not fully developed, it is not advisable to introduce too much complementary food too early."
