What kind of help is needed:
How should it be treated? What tests are needed?
Doctor's answer:
The possible reasons for a baby's green stool:1. If the baby has a cold or digestive issues, they may experience spitting up and green bowel movements again. If you cannot determine the cause, you should see a doctor for a thorough examination of the stool. If there is an infection, active treatment is necessary. If the test results are normal, it may be due to indigestion or a cold in the abdomen.
2. When the child is not well-fed, hunger may cause the intestines to move too quickly, resulting in green and loose stools.
3. If you believe the baby has eaten a lot, it is likely indigestion. Give her probiotics.
