Question
What could be the cause of a six-month-old baby having green, loose, frothy stools, and how should it be handled?
Answer
The baby is experiencing green stools again. If the baby is breastfed and has normal diet, mood, good sleep quality, and weight gain, there is usually no need for special treatment. Cold can also be a common cause of rapid intestinal peristalsis, leading to green stools. If there are only green stools, it is important to keep the abdomen warm. If there are symptoms of a cold, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Additionally, if the baby not only has green stools but also frequent and watery stools with vomiting, it is advisable to go to the hospital for a stool examination promptly.
