Question

What should I do if my baby has green stools every two days?

Answer

According to your description, the baby experiencing green stools is a common issue that parents often consult about. In fact, it’s a normal physiological phenomenon for infants to have green stools. Parents don’t need to worry too much. Green stools are closely related to the change in bile in children; they can transform into each other. If there is more fat in the formula milk, the stools become acidic. Under the influence of intestinal bacteria, some bilirubin transforms into biliverdin, causing the stools to appear green. Generally, there’s no major problem.
