Question
My ten-month-old baby has blackish green stool, sometimes dry and sometimes loose. What could be the cause? Have there been any previous treatments and what kind of help am I looking for?
Answer
Based on the description you provided, your child’s symptoms may be due to blackish green stool caused by indigestion, which is related to their usual feeding. If the baby does not have nausea or vomiting, it is recommended to give them digestive aids such as Lactase. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should avoid eating cold foods to prevent catching a cold. Additionally, keep a close eye on the baby’s condition, and if symptoms worsen, seek medical attention promptly.
