Question
A 50-day-old infant is currently being fed exclusively on formula but today their stool is slightly green and contains curds. Is this a normal phenomenon? The baby was primarily breastfed until the day before and the day before yesterday, when the transition to formula was complete.
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s stool appearing green and containing curds may be due to an adverse reaction to the new formula, possibly indicating digestive discomfort. The baby’s intestines may not have yet adapted to the new formula, leading to digestive issues. The baby’s stool condition may be related to digestive discomfort; if the frequency of bowel movements is normal, no special treatment is needed; if there is an increase in bowel movements, consider using oral probiotics. It is recommended not to worry excessively and to give the baby additional probiotics to help adjust the intestinal flora.
