Question
Is it normal for newborns to have green stools, and what might be the causes?
Answer
Newborn green stools may be due to an immature digestive system, which causes food to pass through the intestines more quickly, or from excessive iron intake. If the baby is breastfed, the mother’s diet may also affect the baby’s stool color. However, if accompanied by crying, restlessness, or other discomfort symptoms, it may be a sign of indigestion or other diseases. It is recommended to consult a doctor for appropriate medication and to pay attention to the baby’s diet and health status.
