Question
Is it normal for a one-month-old baby’s stool to be yellow-green?
Answer
Hello! A one-month-old baby should sleep for about 16 to 20 hours a day. If the baby’s sleep is unstable, it may be necessary to consider whether it is due to hunger or other factors, such as whether the blanket temperature is appropriate and whether the sleep environment is good. Generally speaking, after a baby is one month old, they can start taking cod liver oil to correct and prevent symptoms such as night terrors, restless sleep, hair loss on the pillow, and decreased appetite caused by a lack of vitamin D. Breast milk should be sufficient to nourish the baby. If the baby drinks more milk, the stool may be more loose and frequent; conversely, the stool will be relatively dry and less frequent. The color of the stool is normal.
