Question
What’s the reason for a four-month-old baby’s black-green stool?
Answer
A four-month-old baby’s black-green stool may be caused by unabsorbed iron reacting with air. In some cases, it could also be related to dyspepsia. It is recommended to conduct a stool test to determine if dyspepsia is present. If the test results show normal, there is usually no need for special treatment. In the absence of other abnormalities, it can be observed temporarily without undue concern.
