Question
What are the reasons for a one-and-a-half-month-old baby frequently having green stools?
Answer
If a baby has green stools, if they are breastfed and have normal diet, good mood, good sleep, and normal weight gain, there is usually no need for special treatment. If they are mixed-fed, it may be due to not being fed enough, causing the intestines to move faster and resulting in green stools. In this case, increasing the milk quantity should suffice. Catching a cold may also cause rapid intestinal movement and may be accompanied by symptoms similar to a cold. If there are only green stools, pay attention to warmth, and the symptoms should recover within a few days. If there are cold symptoms accompanying the green stools, symptomatic treatment is required. If in addition to green stools, there are frequent bowel movements with a lot of water, seek medical attention to check the stool immediately.
