Question
When a baby drinks formula, their stool turns green. When drinking Meiji formula, the stool appears yellow, but the amount of milk is excessive. What was the past treatment and its effectiveness? What kind of assistance is needed? Which formula is most suitable?
Answer
Based on your description, we do not recommend frequently changing formulas, as the baby already has a problem with dyspepsia, which may increase stress. Here are some suggestions:
- Green stool usually indicates dyspepsia. We suggest giving the baby a focused dose of probiotics for nourishment, at least for a month. There may not be immediate effects, but in the long run, giving the baby probiotics is beneficial for nourishing the gastrointestinal tract. These are our suggestions for the question “The baby’s stool turns green after drinking formula.” We hope this helps you, and wish you and your baby health!
