Question

Why does a baby have green stools?

Answer

During the growth and development stage, babies need to consume a large amount of food, but due to their limited absorption capacity, the amount of food they require is not proportional to their ability to absorb it, which is one of the reasons for dyspepsia. This is usually characterized by stools that are yellow or golden yellow, occasionally thin with a green tinge, sour in taste, and may contain milk residue with a sour smell. Treatment is usually simple and can be treated with medications such as Mommy Love and Polysaccharide Enzyme Tablets. In terms of daily care, it is recommended that the baby eat to seven-tenths of fullness; even if the food is nutritious, it should not be overindulged to avoid situations such as indigestion and vomiting, which can affect the baby’s health.
