Question
The baby’s stool is deep green and their body temperature is slightly higher than normal. Is there a problem?
Answer
The deep green color of a baby’s stool may be due to catching a cold, indigestion, or abdominal cold, or it could be because of excessive iron intake. In these cases, the baby may also experience symptoms such as spitting up or passing green stool. If you are concerned about the baby’s health, it is recommended to take the baby to see a doctor to check the stool and determine the cause, and then receive appropriate treatment. If the test results are normal, it may just be due to indigestion or abdominal cold, which can be improved by adjusting the diet or keeping warm. Additionally, babies who are newly introduced to mashed vegetables may also pass green vegetable matter, which is usually a normal occurrence. Observing the baby’s stool can help understand their digestive condition.
