Patient's question:
Hello:Gender: Male
Age: 2 months and 5 days
Is the baby's stool green?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, since a baby's intestinal function is very different from that of an adult, it is not appropriate to simply and roughly measure a baby's poop using adult standards. One of the main characteristics of a baby's poop is its constantly changing colors. Generally, changes in stool color are primarily related to the time food stays in the intestine and bile. When milk passes through a baby's intestine quickly and is expelled, the resulting poop is yellow. As the intestinal function improves, the time milk stays in the intestine gradually increases, and the poop color gradually changes to green, eventually becoming brown when elimination is slowest.Therefore, if a child's poop is green and there are no issues after testing, as well as no problems with their diet or sleep, there is no need to worry excessively.
