Question
There is a seven-month-old baby at home whose stools have been green for the past month. We are unsure of the cause. The baby is currently being fed formula milk and breast milk, and had previously been fed rice porridge.
Answer
Based on the provided description, most infants’ stool color can be influenced by recent dietary changes. At seven months old, babies typically begin to introduce solid foods. If they consume too many vegetables or if the mother has recently eaten a lot of vegetables, this may lead to green stools. As long as the baby does not exhibit symptoms such as pain or vomiting, there is no need to worry excessively.
