Question
What are the reasons for a baby to have black or green stool?
Answer
A baby’s black or green stool may be due to indigestion or incomplete absorption of iron from the food. If the baby is exclusively breastfed, it is recommended that the mother pay attention to her diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and keep the baby’s abdomen warm. Consider giving the baby oral probiotics to regulate the intestines. If the situation persists or worsens, it is advisable to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up.
