Patient's question:
The baby has been having yellow stools at night recently for a week. During the day, they always have green stools. They are eating breast milk and, including carrot puree. What could be the reason? Previously, they didn't urinate at night, but now they urinate every night in the middle of the night.Doctor's answer:
A small infant again has green stools, which can be caused by multiple different reasons. Breastfed infants may have green stools. If the baby is feeding well and in good overall condition, this can be explained as "normal." The cause may be due to the infant's immature intestinal function, making it a temporary phenomenon that will improve as the baby grows. In some cases, the baby may not be eating enough, and hunger can slow down intestinal movement, leading to green stools again. The baby may show signs of hunger, such as crying and restlessness, which can easily distinguish this from the above situations.
