The baby’s stool is deep green, slightly loose with mucus strands. Is this normal? The baby is now four months old and this morning, I suddenly noticed the stool color is green with thick, acid-smelling mucus strands.

Previous treatment and effectiveness: No treatment. Assistance needed: Is the baby’s stool normal? Is it related to the medication?
