Patient's question:
My baby is 87 days old and has been drinking formula milk. Recently, his stool has been a bit green, and I haven't given him anything else. What could be the reason? Please answer quickly!!!!!!First question supplement: What does "pang de sheng" mean?
Doctor's answer:
Children who are breastfed have yellow or golden-yellow stools that are uniform and creamy, but odorless. They have more frequent bowel movements, typically 2 to 4 times a day, with some having as many as 7 to 8 times. This is called physiological diarrhea. Parents do not need to worry, as this is a normal phenomenon, and this diarrhea will automatically disappear as the child grows to a certain age. Children who are fed with cow's milk have fewer bowel movements, usually 1 to 2 times a day, with a slightly stronger odor.
