Question
The newborn is 16 days old and their stool is yellowish-green with seeds-like particles. What is the cause and how should it be handled?
Answer
A newborn’s stool being frequent and greenish is a normal phenomenon. If there are no other discomfort symptoms, there is no need to worry excessively. It is recommended to continue observing the baby. If the child plays normally and the breastfeeding amount is normal, no special treatment is needed. If there are signs of abnormal crying or a decrease in breastfeeding, medical consultation should be sought.
