Question
My child has had two episodes of green stools, with a slightly fishy odor, but they seem in good condition. I’d like to know what could be causing this? The milk supply isn’t enough, and my breasts feel dry and saggy. What can I do to increase the milk supply?
Answer
Common causes of a baby passing green stools include catching a cold, rapid gastrointestinal movement when hungry, incomplete absorption of iron-rich formula or iron supplements, and the introduction of green vegetables for the first time. For insufficient breast milk supply, it is recommended to let the baby suckle the breast as much as possible, and you can try increasing fluid intake, consuming sufficient nutrition, massaging the breasts, and other methods to enhance milk supply.
