Question

The 35-day-old baby’s stool is green and related to the decreased number of nighttime feedings.

Answer

Based on your description, this issue might be due to the baby’s underdeveloped digestive system, leading to incomplete fat absorption after feeding, which can cause fatty stools—a common occurrence in infants. Additionally, the baby’s feeding frequency may also affect the color and texture of the stool. If your baby exhibits other gastrointestinal symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, or constipation, it is advisable to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. Meanwhile, you can try adjusting the baby’s diet by increasing the number of feedings or changing the brand of formula milk to observe any changes in stool color.
