What to Do If a Four-Month-Old Baby Has Green Stools After Drinking Formula Milk?

Question

My baby is four months old and has been drinking formula milk for a month or so. The baby’s stools have been dark green for a while now. I’ve seen a doctor, and they prescribed medication, but it’s still the same. The stool test couldn’t be done within half an hour. The stools have been like this for a while, but the baby’s overall condition is normal, and they are in good spirits! What should I do?

Answer

Based on the situation you described, it seems related to the formula milk. I suggest feeding the baby adequately; unlike breast milk, which results in golden-colored stools, if the baby is otherwise fine, there’s no need to worry. I hope this helps. The above is my advice for the question “My baby is four months old and has been drinking formula milk for a month or so,” and I hope it helps you. Wishing the patient a quick recovery!
