Question
Why does a baby’s stool turn green?
Answer
Firstly, if breast milk is sufficient, it is recommended to exclusively breastfeed. Additionally, attention should be paid to the quality of diet. When breast milk is insufficient or when mixed feeding and artificial feeding are needed, adjustments should be made to the diet. Breastfeeding mothers should ensure a balanced diet with a comprehensive nutrition profile and keep their meals light. Observe the color of the baby’s stool carefully for any mucus or blood, as well as the baby’s body temperature, mental state, appetite, and whether there is restlessness or crying. If the baby has frequent stools with mucus and blood, poor appetite, and increased urine output, it is immediate to take the baby to the hospital for a re-examination.
