Patient's question:
Six-month-old baby has been having green bowel movements recently, except for bad breath. They have seen a doctor and received medication, and the symptoms have stabilized. However, in the past few days, the bowel movements have turned black. Not sure what's going on.Doctor's answer:
If a 6-month-old baby has black-green stools, it may be related to the mother's diet. It is recommended that breastfeeding mothers pay more attention to their daily diet, preferably eating more vegetables and fruits. This can help improve the baby's stool and promote the growth and development of the baby's digestive system. Additionally, you can give the baby some probiotics and drink more water, which can help regulate the child's intestines.
