Question
My baby is less than 8 months old and had a bit of green, loose stools yesterday. This morning, they had two bowel movements; the first was green, and the second was yellowish diarrhea with water, resembling egg flower in texture.
Answer
Diarrhea with a greenish hue in your baby’s egg flower-like stools should prompt consideration of a viral infection, with caution for rotavirus transmission. A routine stool test can help confirm the diagnosis. Take precautions to keep your baby’s abdomen warm. Pay attention to hygiene before breastfeeding. Consider taking montmorillonite powder half an hour before feeding and ensure adequate probiotic intake. Additionally, zinc supplementation is needed. As long as your baby is in good spirits and not dehydrated, everything should be fine.
