Question
Is the appearance of a green substance in a baby’s stool related to the mother’s use of Chinese herbal medicine?
Answer
The possible reasons for a baby’s stool to appear green include the acidic nature of breastfed infants’ stool, which is normally slightly green and may sometimes contain white particles. It is suggested to try apple puree, as it has a soothing and anti-diarrheal effect. Cut a fresh, soft apple in half and scrape it into a paste with a spoon.
